The Doyle Law Firm is still accepting Avandia claims from clients and filing lawsuits for people who suffered heart attacks, strokes, congestive heart failure, death, or catastrophic injury from a cardiac event after ingesting Avandia for at least 12 weeks. If you or a loved one has suffered from any of these
Avandia side effects, you may be entitled to compensation.
Avandia (rosiglitazone maleate), manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline (a multinational corporation), is an oral anti-diabetic agent which acts primarily by increasing insulin sensitivity. Avandia was approved by the FDA in 1999 and has been used by millions of Americans with diabetes. The success of this blockbuster drug has allowed Glaxo to make billions in profits over the years from its sale.
Since 2007, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have been aware of a potential safety issue related to Avandia. Safety data was released from 42 controlled clinical trials comparing patients taking Avandia with patients not using the drug. The studies included nearly 28,000 patients, 15,560 of who were taking Avandia. The researchers found the risk of a heart attack was increased 43 percent among those taking Avandia. There is also a 64 percent increased risk of dying from cardiovascular causes while taking the drug. The implications of these discoveries were considered enough of a public health matter to have caused the New England Journal of Medicine to release the findings several weeks before they appeared in print.
