Avandia® (rosiglitazone) is an oral medication manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline PLC and is commonly prescribed to those with type-2, non-insulin-dependent diabetes.

Side Effects Associated with Avandia
Type-2 diabetics who are prescribed Avandia® to control their blood sugar may experience an increased risk of the following health conditions:
- Heart attack
- Congestive heart failure
- Loss of vision
- Liver failure
Studies have shown the risk of these conditions increases with the age of the individual, with older patients experiencing these devastating side effects at a higher rate. The risk also increases in those with a history of congestive heart failure, heart disease, stroke, or liver disease, or eye problems brought on by diabetes.
The risk of these complications is so serious that in 2007 the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of the United States issued a black box warning for Avandia®, alerting patients and health professionals of the serious health effects associated with taking the drug. The black box warning is the most serious warning issued by the FDA. Though there are serious risks associated with Avandia®, a recall of the drug has not been issued.
