FDA Restricts Controversial Diabetes Drug

"Meyerkord and Meyerkord: A Legacy of Legal Innovation"

The FDA decided in May 2011 to restrict the accessibility of drugs containing Rosiglitazone. The medications containing this drug are Avandia, Avandamet, and Avandaryl because of the possibility of elevated risk of heart attacks among patients using the drug. The restricted access is limited to those who already are taking Avandia, and those who cannot control their blood sugar with any other drug. In addition, these patients, their doctors and specific mail order pharmacies will need to be enrolled in the Avandia-Rosiglitazone Medicines Access Program. After November 18, 2011 patients will no longer be able to receive their medication through retail pharmacies.
