Just one month after The New England Journal of Medicine published a report that showed a possible connection between Avandia and heartcomplications, there was a large increase in the number of suspected Avandia-related side effects reported to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
In the 35 days after the analysis, there were 90 reports of related side effects. Reports of heart-related hospitalization among Avandia patients increased from 11 to 126 according to data obtained from the FDA.
