Ya pioz was banned earlier suspecting increased cardiovascular events. But later multiple  landmark trials have been conducted on this group of antidiabetics ( thiazolidenediones) especially IRIS trial have shown cardiovascular safety of this drug.. So it's  a safe drug to be used in diabetics. This drug is not preferable in known cardiac patient.
