(EMAILWIRE.COM, October 08, 2010 ) Orlando, Florida – The product liability lawyers at Morgan and Morgan have released a consumer alert announcing the new FDA guidelines for Avandia, a prescription drug used to treat type 2 diabetes. The new restrictions severely limit the usage of the diabetes drug, which studies suggest significantly increases the risk of cardiovascular problems as it controls blood sugar levels. This risk was originally reported in 2007; however, Avandia users who have suffered heart attacks or congestive heart failure may still have legal recourse. Visit http://www.forthepeople.com/avandia-use-limited-due-to-risk-of-heart-problems--11-2595.html and fill out the free case review form to find out if you can pursue an Avandia lawsuit.
The new restrictions from the FDA have made Avandia a drug of last resort for U.S. patients, while drug regulatory agencies in Europe plan on removing the drug from the market. In the United States, Avandia can only be prescribed to those who have already tried other diabetes drugs and are fully aware of the cardiovascular side effects of Avandia. Patients taking the diabetes drug may have an increased chance of suffering a heart attack or cardiovascular-related death, a risk which was originally outlined in a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine. The study indicated that this risk was significantly elevated in patients who had a history of heart disease or were predisposed to heart attacks.
If you or a loved one has suffered congestive heart failure or myocardial infarction (heart attack) while taking Avandia, you may be entitled to financial compensation for medical bills, lost wages and other damages.

The Avandia lawyers at Morgan and Morgan are offering this initial legal consultation at no cost and remain dedicated to protecting the rights of patients who were injured by defective drugs.
