(EMAILWIRE.COM, July 14, 2010 ) New York, NY - Class Action.org is actively investigating Avandia side effect claims on behalf of patients who have suffered heart attack, heart failure, stroke, and other serious health complications after taking Avandia. Avandia is a drug used to treat Type Two diabetes, a disease that affects millions of Americans. Avandia was designed to be a safer alternative to drugs that were previously available. However, serious and potentially life threatening side effects have been reported by some Avandia users.
Avandia (Rosiglitazone) is a prescription drug manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline. It is used in the treatment of Type Two diabetes and works by aiding the bodyÂ’s natural use of insulin. Avandia was introduced in 1999 and has been used by millions of diabetes patients. However, this drug has been linked to potentially dangerous side effects, including congestive heart failure, heart damage, heart attack, stroke, and sudden cardiac death. Additional Avandia side effects include liver toxicity and increased cholesterol levels.
In May 2007, the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) released a safety alert on Avandia warning doctors and patients of the potential risk of heart attack and heart-related death associated with this drug. Prior to issuing this safety alert, the FDA updated AvandiaÂ’s warning label on several occasions in order to inform users about the possibility of negative side effects and health risks.
Patients who were prescribed Avandia as part of a treatment program for Type Two diabetes and suffered serious side effects may be eligible to participate in an Avandia lawsuit and recover damages. Family members of individuals who passed away as a result of Avandia side effects may also be entitled to financial compensation.
