Georgia News: Avandia in the UK

The diabetes drug rosiglitazone (Avandia, GlaxoSmithKline) is once again in the media spotlight  in the UK, where it has emerged that experts from the UK Commission on Human Medicines (CHM) decided unanimously at the end of July that the drug should be withdrawn.

This recommendation was not made public, however, in line with protocol. It was communicated to the British drug-licensing agency, the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), which instead sent out "Dear doctor" letters reiterating safety information with regard to rosiglitazone from 2007, including a suggestion to consider alternative treatments where appropriate.
