BBC One - Panorama, A Risk Worth Taking?

Shelley Jofre investigates the rise and fall of the drug Avandia.

Shelley Jofre investigates the drug Avandia and asks whether the medicine's regulator is putting the interests of the drugs industry before patients.

Patients trust that these drugs are safe, but does one come with a hidden cost to health? Shelley Jofre investigates the rise and fall of Avandia, until recently one of the UK's best-selling diabetes drugs, and asks whether the medicine's regulator is putting the interests of the drugs industry before patients.
