Unless the FDA continues to black label and ban those pharmacueticals that do the job best.
Troglitizone.....removed from the market.
Rosiglitizone (Avandia) .....black labeled.
Pioglitizone (Actos) ....the next one to go?

Don't panic. Actos works differently than Avandia and is so far not targeted for any action.
Why did you write that? Aren't they all thiazolidinediones, also known as insulin sensitizers?
IMHO, these drugs were given to folks with the wrong genotype. Drug Makers Seek Clues to Side Effects in Genes
Because, based on the latest information about Avandia, it is acurate.
The literature is available from Glaxo for Avandia and Takeda Pharmaceuticals for Actos. As well as recently published stories about Avandia.
They are both drugs of the class thiazolidinedione but they are slightly different chemically. Literature from Takeda states that its product, Actos does not pose the cardio-vascular risk that Avandia does. So far, the FDA has agreed.
That's why I wrote what I did. Reporting published facts.
