FDA sends harsh warning letter concerning Avandia studies

Posted in Pharmaceuticals Blog

The Food and Drug Administration recently sent a harsh warning letter to GlaxoSmithKline, the maker of the diabetes drug Avandia. According to Pharmalot, Glaxo failed to include nine post-marketing studies in a mandatory report to the FDA. A Glaxo spokesperson is claiming this to be an “inadvertent omission.”

A few months ago, the FDA ordered Glaxo to put stronger “black box” warnings on the packaging.
