What Is Avandia?

Avandia is an oral medication developed by GlaxoSmithKlein Plc. It is used to treat Type 2 Diabetes. Unlike some other diabetes medications it is not insulin. Instead, it works by making the body more receptive to the action of insulin in the body. In fact, it is recommended that people not take Avandia if they are also taking insulin or nitrates. Type I diabetics are not able to take this medication.

In 2007, the FDA issued news regarding Avandia that included a Black Box Warning. A Black Box warning is the most serious type of warning that the FDA can issue and was issued due to serious heart problems and side effects.

Unfortunately, there have been a number of serious side effects reported as a result of taking this medication. It has been proven now that use of this medication can lead to a higher than average risk of heart attack and other cardiovascular issues. Studies have shown that as many as five hundred additional heart attacks were caused each month in people taking this medication.

If you are someone who has suffered a heart attack as a result of taking this medication you deserve compensation for your pain and suffering. Your rights as a patient must be protected and there needs to be awareness of just what this medication can do to the people who are still taking it.

Avandia Side Effects

Avandia has a number of side effects. These can range from minor issues such as headaches, mild weight gain and digestive problems such as mild diarrhea. There may even be side effects such as sneezing, a runny nose or other symptoms which are very similar to a cold. Women who have stopped menstruating due to medical conditions may find that they start getting their period again.

The issue with Avandia is that side effects can also be dangerous and unexpected. Serious Avandia side effects include blurred vision and jaundice which can be severe at times. There can also be cardio-pulmonary side effects including chest pain, shortness of breath and other symptoms of a heart attack.

It has also been proven that using Avandia can cause a higher than average chance of suffering a heart attack. If you or someone you love has suffered a heart attack because of taking Avandia, you need to contact us today about legal representation.
