May 21st, 2007 the FDA issued an alert about a 43% increased risk of heart attacks when taking Avandia. I have been taking Avandia for about 6 months. I plan to continue to take Avandia at least until I see my doctor in 6 weeks. Actos is in the same chemical class as Avandia. I wonder if Actos may have similar risks. People with diabetes already have a higher than average risk of having a heart attack. I need to weigh the risks and benefits of taking this drug.
