A new drug for diabetes by the name of Onglyza had no effect on a patient?s risk for heart attack in a recent study, although with some caveats.
Researchers at Brigham and Women?s Hospital in Boston who conducted the study also found an increase in hospitalizations for heart failure among those who took the drug, compared to those who did not. The study findings may help to ?guide physicians and improve their ability to prescribe different diabetes drugs in a more evidence-based and data-driven way,? researcher Deepak Bhatt said in a statement.
