Avandia Increases the Risks It Is Supposed to Reduce
Type 2 diabetes causes an increased risk of heart attacks, strokes, congestive heart failure and bone fractures. Avandia (rosiglitazone), a drug prescribed to millions of people, is supposed to decrease the risks associated with diabetes. Avandia causes an increased risk of heart attacks and strokes.
Our attorneys are leading the effort to compensate the victims of Avandia.
GSK knew about Avandia side effects before the drug went to market.
For GlaxoSmithKline, it was more important to get a new drug on the market than to deal with their own scientific data about Avandia side effects.
Despite growing evidence of Avandia side effects, the company continues to issue statements such as: "Avandia is safe and effective when used appropriately." For victims who have suffered heart attacks or strokes or for the families of Avandia users who have died because of the drug's side effects, that statement does not make sense.
Avandia side effects include:
- Congestive heart failure
- Heart attack
- Stroke
- Bone fractures
