Concern over Avandia / Actos?

[ivygirl]

In todays Daily Mail there is an article about the danger to women (not men) over taking Actos! It seems there is a danger of heart failure and broken bones if taken for over a year!!! I have always thought the side effects of the drugs I take often seem worse than the illness, now I'm sure!!!!! Joking aside, it is worrying.
I take Metformin, Actos and Simvastatin for the diabetes and a load of other stuff for blood pressure.

I would hesitate to panic based purely on a Daily Mail article. Perhaps do a google search and see if there's research from a more reputable source?
