It is a worrying to learn that millions of diabetics worldwide face an increased threat of cardiac problems after two drugs commonly prescribed to treat type 2 diabetes were found to double the risk of heart failure, according to researchers in the US and Britain. One in every 50 patients taking either Avandia or Actos over a 26-month period would suffer heart failure and need admission to hospital, says the research by experts. The researchers said the drugs could be responsible for additional thousands of cases of heart failure each year so if you are on one of these drugs and you have a cardiac problem maybe you should see your physician.
