ACSH's Dr. Gilbert Ross would like to provide a word of caution to patients on Avandia: do not discontinue your medication without discussing such a move with your doctor first. Physicians of the Endocrine Society, American Diabetes Association and the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists issued a similar statement on Wednesday, warning that the risk of stopping Avandia use abruptly is greater than any potential cardiovascular risk the drug might possess.
