Here is some reality about Avandia the drug you say is like Sucanon

Serious cardiovascular side effects and potentially life-threatening complications from the diabetes drug Avandia prompted tens of thousands of patients in the United States to file lawsuits against GlaxoSmithKline, the drug’s manufacturer. GlaxoSmithKline could face up to $6 billion in liability for side effects litigation.

According to a scientist for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Avandia is linked to as many as 100,000 heart attacks. Clinical studies show that the drug increases the risk of heart attack by 43 percent and can double the risk of heart failure after one year of treatment.

During clinical trials, more people died as a result of a cardiovascular event taking Avandia than those taking a placebo, studies show. Despite these findings, Avandia’s black-box warning label did not mention an increased risk of cardiovascular death until the FDA warned about the risks in 2007.
