Information about lawyers for people who may have suffered side-effects from taking Avandia® Serious and potentially life-threatening side-effects have been reported in patients prescribed GlaxoSmithKline’s (GSK) oral diabetes-managing drug, Avandia®. If you or a loved one would like a free consultation from a lawyer, please contact us immediately. Designed to stabilize and regulate the blood-sugar levels of patients diagnosed with Type-2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes, Avandia® has been shown to have a number of serious side-effects, including:    * Heart Attack    * Heart Failure    * Stroke    * Bone Fracture Avandia® received approval in 1999 as a form of treatment for patients diagnosed with non-insulin dependent diabetes, which is estimated to affect approximately 20 Million Americans. Avandia® helps to regulate blood-sugar levels, and does so by making the patient’s body-cells more sensitive to insulin.  Serious side effects (including death, heart attack, heart failure, and bone fractures) have been reported in some Avandia® patients. In May 2007, the FDA issued a warning that data obtained via clinical trials revealed a significant increase in the risk of heart attack and heart-related deaths in patients taking Avandia®. The FDA’s warning followed a short-term study which compared Avandia® to other types of treatment for diabetes. The study – published in the New English Journal of Medicine – revealed that Avandia® may increase the risk of heart attack by up to 43%. Heart-related risks may not be the only ones posed by Avandia®. In April 2008, the Archives of Internal Medicine revealed studies undertaken by Swiss researchers of British diabetics showed those who had been prescribed Avandia® for at least a year had a risk of bone fractures nearly double of those not taking the drug. Choosing Your Lawyer If you have suffered from any of the above side-effects of Avandia®, you may have a claim for legal compensation that should be handled by an experienced Avandia® lawyer.
