Avandia Side Effects
Avandia can cause serious side effects such as pulmonary edema, heart attack and heart failure. Avandia is used to treat Type 2 diabetes. Recent studies indicate Avandia increases the risk of heart attack by 30 to 40 percent. In fact, Avandia’s side effects recently prompted the FDA to add its more severe warning label to Avandia packaging.
