An influential Germany group has recommended that health insurers stop paying for Avandia (rosiglitazone, GlaxoSmithKline) and Actos (pioglitazone, Takeda). The recommendation was made by Germany’s Federal Joint Committee of doctors and health insurers.

We believe that patients should be protected against useless and, more importantly, harmful therapies.”
