Avandia Side Effects
When it was first released by GlaxoSmithKline in 1999, Avandia was considered something of a wonder drug in the treatment of diabetes. Unfortunately, the drug has since been linked to a number of serious side effects which may threaten the health and even the lives of the people who have taken it.
If you or someone you love has experienced health problems as the result of taking Avandia, you may be entitled to financial compensation to pay for medical bills, lost wages, and the other myriad expenses you are facing as a result of your injury. At the firm, we believe that you should not have to pay the price for a pharmaceutical giant’s carelessness. Contact our Avandia lawsuit lawyers today by calling the firm.
The Most Common Side Effects
While Avandia was originally considered a significant advance in the treatment of Type 2 diabetes, there are currently 13,000 lawsuits against GlaxoSmithKline regarding the drug and its potential side-effects. The most commonly reported dangerous side-effects of Avandia include:
- Weight gain
- Liver problems
- Anemia
- High cholesterol
While these are the most commonly reported side-effects of Avandia, they are far from the most serious. Though they are not as common, the following Avandia-related health issues are so serious that they can jeopardize a patient’s life:
- Chest pains
- Heart murmurs
- Heart disease
- Stroke
If you are one of the many people who have developed serious health issues as the result of taking Avandia, you deserve the compensation and justice that often only litigation can bring.
