The Food and Drug Administration has just informed healthcare professionals of new, important warnings that will be added to the type II diabetes medication Avandia. Diabetes affects 20.8 million people in the United States, many of whom are potential California drug injury victims.
The Avandia boxed warning will now warn that Avandia may be associated with an increased risk of myocardial ischemic events (such as angina) or myocardial infarction (heart attack occurring because of a lack of blood supplied to the heart).
California drug injuries are all too common in this day and age and can have life-altering consequences. The FDA has advised healthcare professionals to closely monitor patients who take Avandia for cardiovascular risks and California drug injuries.

The wildfires that have ravaged California over the past weeks have claimed yet another victim. A man was recently found near Tecate Peak and is believed to be the eighth California fire death, although there have been seven additional California fire deaths that have been indirectly attributed to the blazes.
The fires destroyed more than 2,000 homes in an area ranging from northern Los Angeles to San Diego and caused many people to flee, fearing California burn injuries and personal injury.

The California fires that have been sweeping across the state may have firefighters defeated for the time being. The Santa Ana winds are currently fueling the fire and will continue to do so for the near future, and until the winds die down, the fires will continue to rage.
To date, roughly one million people have fled the affected areas, fearing California fire and burn injuries. The San Diego Fire Captain said, “If it’s this big and blowing with as much wind as it’s got, it’ll go all the way to the ocean before it stops” when referring to the California fires.
So far, there have been at least 45 people injured (many with serious California burn injuries), and several people have died.
