- Title
Switching From Rosiglitazone: Thinking Outside the Class.
- Authors
Lipska, Kasia J.; Ross, Joseph S.
- Abstract
The authors reflect on the risks involved among diabetics who decided to switch their medication from rosiglitazone to pioglitazone. They note the importance for physicians and patients to weight the benefits and risks of therapy when making treatment decisions. They also cite the current consensus of the American Diabetes Association and European Association for the Study of Diabetes in which therapeutic recommendations are based on surrogate outcomes.
