Rezulin

Rezulin, or troglitazone, was a prescription diabetes drug that was used to control Type 2 diabetes in combination with insulin or sulfonylurea. Rezulin helped to regulate blood glucose levels, effectively controlling diabetes. However, increasing evidence that Rezulin was linked to liver toxicity led the FDA to issue a recall of Rezulin.

Rezulin Side Effects

As with any drug, there are side effects associated with Rezulin. Side effects of Rezulin include:

• Nausea
• Jaundice
• Abdominal pain
• Liver failure

FDA Recall

The FDA issued a recall of Rezulin due to increasing reports of liver damage and liver failure. The FDA had been receiving reports of liver failure since Rezulin’s approval and had strengthened the warnings in 1997. However, continued reports of liver toxicity finally prompted the FDA to recall Rezulin in March 2000.
