Avandia® Injuries / Side Effects

The Fox Law Firm is Reviewing Potential AVANDIA Claims

Death
Heart Attack
Congestive Heart Failure
Bone Fractures

Have you experienced severe health issues – such as heart attack, heart failure and bone fractures - following the use of the diabetes-managing drug, Avandia? Have your loved ones suffered adversely – or even died - after taking the drug? If so, you should contact us immediately to protect your legal rights.

An oral medication that is taken to control and stabilize blood-sugar levels in patients with Type 2 (non-insulin dependent) diabetes, Avandia has been the subject of several investigations and studies suggesting that the product can drastically increase the risk of death, heart attack, heart failure, and bone fracture in those who have been prescribed the drug.

In May 2007, the FDA issued a warning concerning the above-risks posed by Avandia – which resulted from an article published in the New England Journal of Medicine in which it was estimated that Avandia could increase the risk of heart attack by 43 per cent and heart disease by 64 per cent.

Serious limb fracture has also been attributed to Avandia: In April 2008, the Archives of Internal Medicine published the conclusions of a study undertaken by researchers from Switzerland who had been studying British patients with diabetes.

Significantly, it was determined that in those patients who had been prescribed Avandia for at least twelve months, the possibility of suffering a bone fracture was nearly double that of those who did not take the drug. More disturbingly, in patients who had treated their diabetes with Avandia for at least two years, bone-fracturing levels had almost trebled.

If you have experienced any of these side effects you may have a claim for legal compensation.
