Avandia is used by people with Type II
diabetes, to keep down blood sugar levels. Side effects include
cold-like symptoms, headaches, tiredness, weight gane, swelling, and
risk of serious heart problems
Avandia lawsuits have resulted because of the serious Avandia
side effects and because Avandia manufacturer minimized the risks
associated with Avandia. In particular, the FDA warned Avandia
manufacturer of the “oral representations denying the existence of
serious new risks associated with Avandia at GSK’s promotional
exhibit booth” in September 2001.
When Avandia was approved the FDA stated they were not confident
of its safety regarding liver toxicity, just that Avandia appeared
to be safer than Rezulin, a factor that Avandia lawsuits may point
out. If you have experienced severe side
effects due to this medication, seek an attorney, or find a firm
devoted to class actions against Avandia.
