When did Avandia come under intense scrutiny?

0

In 2007, Dr. Steven Nissen of the Cleveland Clinic analyzed 42 studies involving more than 28,000 people taking Avandia. His startling conclusions were that they had a 64% greater risk of death from heart problems and were 43% more likely to suffer heart attacks than those taking similar drugs or placebo. The results were published in the New England Journal of Medicine in May 2007. Barely a month later, the ADOPT study showed that women who take Avandia are at an increased risk of suffering bone fractures.
