Diabetes Drug Increases Risk Of Heart Failure
A drug, Rosiglitazone, popularly used to treat the very common type 2 diabetes, is associated with an increased risk of heart failure and death among older patients compared to a similar drug (pioglitazone), concludes a study published on the British Medical Journal's website, bmj.com. As such, the researchers say it is difficult to advocate continued use of rosiglitazone for most patients. Rosiglitazone and pioglitazone belong to a class of drugs called thiazolidinediones and are widely used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.
