Rosiglitazone (Avandia) Seen No Better than Other Drugs in Diabetic Control
Primary source: Cochrane Database of Systematic ReviewsSource reference: Richter B et al "Rosiglitazone for type 2 diabetes mellitus." Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews 2007; Issue 3 Art.No.: CD006063. DOI: 10.1002/14651858.CD006063.pub2.
In many ways the Cochrane review echoed conclusions of a systematic review published Monday in the Annals of Internal Medicine which found that older drugs were as effective as rosiglitazone and pioglitazone and were less expensive as well.
