The following information and more is available in an easier to read format at

A new study on the drug Avandia released by the New England Journal notes major

health implications for diabetic patients.

 

The study shows data from 42 studies involving 15,560 patients who took the drug

and 12,283 patients who were given other medications or a placebo. According to

this new study it was noted that patients getting Avandia were 43 percent more

likely to have a heart attack.

A comment was made by Mr. Steven Nissen, the chairman of cardiology at the

Cleveland Clinic in Ohio. ``Unfortunately, rosiglitazone appears to increase,

rather than decrease, the most serious complication of diabetes, heart

disease.''

 

Older studies in the U.S. have shown a total of 158 heart attacks and 61 deaths

from cardiovascular causes among the patients in the studies, which generally

lasted from six months to a year.

 

In December 2005, GlaxoSmithKline and FDA alerted healthcare professionals to

new information regarding the potential of serious and potentially

life-threatening side effects of the popular diabetes mellitus type 2 treating

drug Avandia. Avandia is an oral treatment intended to control blood sugar

levels that almost 5.3 million people have used since it was approved in 1999.

 

Avandia Heart Failure or Damage:

 

The are a number of serious potential Avandia injury risks associated with this

diabetes drug. Most of them affect the cardiovascular system and include:

 

Heart Failure or Damage

Heart Valve disease

Edema

Blood Artery disease

Heart attack

 

In fact, a study published by the Mayo Clinic in September 2003 reveled six

people developed congestive heart failure in diabetic patients under Avandia

treatment. These six men between 66 and 78 years of age all had type 2 diabetes

and required emergency treatment. Congestive heart failure is a potentially

fatal cardiac condition that occurs because the heart muscle cannot pump

sufficient blood through the circulatory system, which causes fluid to build up

in the lungs.

 

Other Avandia side effects may include:

 

Avandia is also linked to reports of diabetic macular edema, a swelling of the

retina that can interfere with vision. Many patients with diabetic macular edema

often complain of blurry or distorted vision, and many of these victims

experienced associated Avandia side effects of ankle, leg, and feet swelling.

 

If you or someone you love was injured by this dangerous drug, you need to

contact an Avandia diabetes drug attorney right away. You may be entitled to

financial compensation for your Avandia heart attack, heart valve disease,

edema, blood artery disease, or primary pulmonary hypertension, but if you

hesitate in contacting a PPH attorney you could miss your chance for

restitution. Contact our Avandia heart failure lawyers today.
