[QUOTE=MyOMy;3572323]My husband was just given a prescription for avandia, i just read where there is a recall because of a 43% risk of a heart attack, while taking this, my husband has already had 2 slight ones, so we have decided against Avandia, can anybody recall the name of the new drug that has recently been released, it helps the insulin production that your body already produces, just read about it and cannot recall the name. Anyone?

Could it be Actos?

avandia is of the class of meds known as thiazolidinediones, the other med which has yet to be grouped with avandia in regards to cardiovascular risk/mortality is actos

januvia and byetta are the other medications that stimulate insulin synthesis and secretion
