Avandia Heart Damage Victims Still Waiting to Seek Legal Counsel

It shouldn't come as news any longer, it has been alleged that a link exists between Avandia and heart attacks and congestive heart failure. This includes Avandamet and Avandaryl, two alternate forms of Avandia containing a combination of other drugs designed to treat diabetes.

Why do so many diabetics who have taken Avandia and suffered heart problems put off contacting an attorney for legal council? "I'm not one to complain" or "I've never wanted to file a lawsuit" are reasons we hear daily.

Avandia Link to Broken Bones Suggested - Women May Be At Higher Risk

Women taking Avandia may be at increased risk for broken bones in their hands and feet. While Avandia helps to manage blood sugar in diabetics, it may also lower bone mineral density which may increase the risk of broken bones in those taking the drug.

On December 2nd, 2007 The Associated Press reported “The popular diabetes drug marketed as Avandia may increase bone thinning, a discovery that could help explain why diabetics can have an increased risk of fractures."

New research raises the possibility that long-term treatment with rosiglitazone, as Avandia is also called, could lead to osteoporosis. The diabetes drug is used to improved response to insulin.

An updated warning label which informs diabetics taking Avandia about the increased risks of bone fractures may occur soon. The increased risk of broken bones in men has not been ruled out. If you are a woman or man who has suffered broken bones after taking the drug Avandia then please contact us today.
