Are you looking for an Avandia attorney? The Food and Drug Administration recently announced that GlaxoSmithKline, the maker of the drug Avandia, has agreed to use a so-called "black box" warning regarding the risk of heart failure for its Avandia type 2 diabetes drug. Avandia had been shown to have side effects that include two kinds of edema in patients. Peripheral edema is a swelling of the extremities due to fluid buildup, while macular edema is a swelling and protein buildup in the eye. These conditions can lead to a multitude of other health complications, including congestive heart failure. A recent study showed that users of Avandia were 43 percent more likely to have a heart attack. The macular edema caused by Avandia has been shown to cause vision problems, including blurred vision and decreased visual acuity. In addition, Avandia has been linked to liver problems, rapid weight gain, jaundice, hypoglycemia, and other conditions. If you or someone you know has suffered health complications of any kind after taking Avandia, talk to an Avandia attorney who can advise you of your legal rights and options. The law was created to protect invidivuals from companies who make dangerous products including drugs like Avandia that have serious side effects. If you are considering filing an Avandia lawsuit, speak to an Avandia lawyer who is experienced in handling drug liability cases.
