Avandia injuries have been directly correlated with heart attacks and other “cardiac events” in numerous studies. Use of Avandia as prescribed essentially makes the body more sensitive to insulin, ultimately helping Type II diabetics control blood sugar levels. Avandia contains the active ingredient rosiglitazone and is marketed by GlaxoSmithKline. Avandia has been a “blockbuster medication” for GlaxoSmithKline in its initial sales, though the widespread reports of Avandia injuries and negative media attention have dampened sales.

Avandia injuries should be taken seriously. One study concluded that the use of Avandia means a 43 percent higher risk of heart attack. Avandia injury attorneys are working with victims in filing lawsuits against the defendant GlaxoSmithKline. Avandia injury attorneys allege that the use of Avandia carried a significant risk of serious injury, a risk which was not adequately disclosed by the defendant. Those victims suffering Avandia injuries, or family members losing loved ones to Avandia injuries, deserve justice and restitution.
