Fractures were in the arms and legs mostly. This duplicates a similar finding for Actos in an earlier study. Folks, please do not take these dangerous TZD drugs, Avandia and Actos, which work by converting bone stem cells to fat cells and hence leaving your body with fewer cells available to repair your bones.Jennyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17384082448952856117noreply@blogger.com
