Officials of the Food and Drug Administration and the
European Medication agency published their concerns about diabetes drugs on an
annual joint paper. The announced the popular drugs unsafe and could cause pancreatic
inflammation. The drugs that increase a hormone activity to control blood sugar,
including Onglyza, Victoza, and Januvia, make millions of dollars in the market
in sales. Both of the agencies have collective effort to show the link between
the drugs use and their damages. A study that supported this situation was done
by Dr. Peter C. Butler, from the University of California, Los Angles. Many of
Dr. Butler critics claimed that his conclusion was not supported and asked for
the analyses to be public. After a little tension between those asking for more
research and those seeing little need for concern both the European agency and
the FDA announced that there was no concern regarding the safety of the drugs.
The agencies have also announced that more data will be collected and that concerns
regarding pancreatic inflammation were already written in the labels of the
drugs.
Diabetes’ percentage is around the world and percentage in developed
countries such as the US and those in Europe are very high. McDonaldization and
other social factors that caused the world to move faster, Diabetes is becoming
a trend and almost a common disease in families. Regardless of the factors or
causes of diabetes, its cure is one around the world. This alert of and ‘unsafe’
medicine is scary and causes the sick to feel worst. Diabetic people are
dependent on the medicine and no substitutions are currently unavailable: to
know that your medication can cause further and more serious illness is
something that affects part of the population worldwide. Further and deeper
studies should be done regarding all diabetes’ drugs available in the market.
