AVANDIA HEART ATTACK/FAILURE NOTICE
In the findings of a study that will appear
in the June 14 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine,
researchers found that the risk of a heart attack was increased
43 percent among those taking Avandia. There was also a 64
percent increased risk of dying from cardiovascular causes
while taking the drug.
These discoveries were considered
enough of a public health matter to have caused the New
England Journal of Medicine to release the findings several
weeks before they appeared in print.
May 29th update:
The government's own preliminary FDA (Food &
Drug Administration) evaluation of the diabetes pill Avandia
confirms the heart risks reported in a study earlier this
week and suggests that as many as 60,000 to 100,000 heart
attacks might be linked to its use since it came on the
market eight years ago.
June 6th update:
FDA agrees that Avandia should carry a "black box"
warning (the strongest warning FDA can make). Update coming
in July.
August 15th update:
FDA expands the scope of Avandia safety warning for heart
failure.
The US Senate has already begun an investigation
into Glaxo and the FDA regarding this potential health care
fiasco.
Health Risks
and Symptoms
The most common related problems with Avandia are:
Heart attack
Heart failure
Stroke
Liver problems
Other heart problems
Do I qualify
for a lawsuit claim?
If you or a member of your family has any
of these conditions above and has taken Avandia, then you
may qualify for a potential lawsuit claim. Our law firm has
already retained hundreds of Avandia victims.
What are my rights?
If a pharmaceutical
company knows about health risks, but refuses to inform the
public about those risks, then the company should compensate
the victims. We have been contacted by thousands
of people who had heart problems, but were prescribed Avandia
without knowing about the risks. Many people have lost loved
ones or have had their lives ruined.
Avandia makes Glaxo $3 billion a year, and
there is a huge temptation for Glaxo not to disclose the
health risks for such a profitable product, but it is their
duty to do so. As the New England Journal of Medicine's
article made clear, these kinds of errors and omissions
are an indictment of the Food & Drug Administration
(FDA) and the pharmaceutical companies. When
the government and pharmaceutical companies fail, it is
up to individuals to contact lawyers to protect their rights.
If you believe you have been wronged, take action to protect
your rights.
