Avandia Injury Claim

Avandia Drug Defect Claim

Avandia is an oral medication prescribed for patients who suffer from Type II diabetes.  GlaxoSmithKline, the manufacturer of Avandia, began distribution of the drug in 2000.  The FDA has linked dangerous side effects to Avandia, including heart attack, stroke, congestive heart failure, and bone fractures.  On November 14, 2007, GlaxoSmithKline agreed to modify its warning labels to include Avandia's harmful side effects, which has unfortunately resulted in numerous deaths.

If you have taken Avandia and suffered from any of these serious side effects, it is critical to contact a drug injury lawyer immediately to determine whether you can file an Avandia injury claim.  It just so happens that Avandia was the best-selling prescription medication in the United States in 2005-2007.  In July 2009, the FDA warned that Avandia users experienced a 40% increase in bone fractures.  This can be particularly problematic for aging consumers taking Avandia, as they already may have low bone density.
