There are some serious Avandia side effects that not only may threaten your life but also warrant a lawsuit against its manufacturer, known as GlaxoSmithKline (Glaxo for short). Be encouraged that you are not alone in your needs, as there are statistics to prove the possible dangers of this drug: About 1 million people used it in 2006 and helped it generate $3 billion worldwide.



To this day, an estimated 6 million people use it. This is a small number compared to the estimated U.S. or world population, but large enough that there is plenty of help available and your Avandia risks do not have to go unnoticed.

Drugs prescribed to you to help you fight diabetes are counterproductive if they only serve to make your condition worse. This is why you need a lawyer and may also find it helpful to contact your elected officials (at your local or state level) if you need further advice. According to your state's laws, you only have a limited amount of time to file a lawsuit.

In addition to the fact that when taking Avandia, your risk of dying from heart problems is elevated by 64 percent and your risk of heart attack by 43 percent, this makes it urgent that you take necessary steps in finding a lawyer you can trust. Be sure to know what symptoms to look for.

These include, but are not limited to, any heart abnormalities, swollenness, inexplicable weight gain, anemia, breathing problems, unusual fatigue, dark urine, yellowish eyes or skin, persistent nausea or vomiting, abdominal pain, sight problems, and unbalanced blood sugar levels. Some of the symptoms are already typical of diabetes but worsen from Avandia.

Glaxo bears the primary responsibility for posting safety warnings on products such as Avandia, but has recently had a questionable record of honesty in doing this. The Food and Drug Administration, therefore, has said that its response to this was to analyze the truthfulness of the information coming from Glaxo.

You cannot afford to have your life, health, and financial future threatened due to negligence of what Avandia can do. You are urged to take legal action and seek out alternative treatments as soon as possible.
