Avandia Side Effects/Signs/Symptoms:
Individuals who are taking Avandia and experience fluid retention or swelling, shortness of breath, unusual tiredness or increase in weight should consult with a physician immediately. In 2000, Rezulin diabetes drug was recalled after being linked to dozens of fatal liver disease instances. The FDA announced at the time of the Rezulin recall that Actos and Avandia were safer alternatives for managing Type 2 diabetes. At the time, the consumer group Public Citizen criticized the FDA for waiting too long to issue the Rezulin recall and remained skeptical that other drugs, such as Avandia, would not also cause problems. |
