Is Avandia Worth the Risk?
More than six million Americans have taken Avandia to treat adult-onset, or type II, diabetes since it was introduced in 1999. The drug is prescribed to control blood sugar in order to decrease the risk of heart attack, and vision and vascular problems associated with type II diabetes.
In some people, Avandia may actually increase the risk of the heart problems, rather than reduce it. It has also been linked with potentially fatal liver failure and numerous other health problems.
Please contact defective drug attorney J. Neal Rodgers if you or a member of your family developed serious health problems while taking Avandia. Call us toll free 888-471-2637 to arrange a free initial consultation and case evaluation.
Avandia has been linked to many serious health problems, including:
- Heart attack
- Congestive heart failure
- Liver failure
- Primary Pulmonary Hypertension (PPH)
- Macular edema
- Edema
- Increased chest pain
- Bone fractures
- Anemia
The FDA has issued a black boxed warning — its strongest form of warning — for Avandia, regarding it's potential to increase the risk of heart attack. The consumer group Public Citizen has petitioned the FDA to remove the drug from the market due to the risk it presents for liver failure and other serious health concerns.
