Pennsylvania Avandia Attorneys

In May 2007, the FDA released information stating that they were aware of the potential safety issues related to taking Avandia, which had previously been approved to treat type 2 diabetes. Safety data from controlled clinical trials have shown that there is a potentially significant increase in the risk of heart attack and heart-related deaths in patients taking this type 2 diabetes medication.

Avandia was originally approved for consumption in 1999 to treat type 2 diabetes, which is a serious and life threatening disease that affects about 19 million Americans. Since the release of the drug, the FDA had been closely monitoring it and its possible heart-related adverse events such as:

Fluid retention
Edema
Congestive heart failure

In 2006, the FDA updated Avandia's product labeling to reflect new warnings about a potential increase in heart attacks and heart-related chest pain in users. This new warning was based on the result of a controlled clinical trial in patients with existing congestive heart failure. Our Pennsylvania Avandia Attorneys can help you receive the compensation you deserve.
