Avandia settlements - Discuss your case with our firm

You may be able to seek Avandia settlements money if you experienced a cardiac injury

Attorneys from our drugs and medical device unit are currently meeting with families to discuss possible Avandia settlements. If you suffered serious heart complications after taking this diabetes drug, you may be eligible for Avandia settlements money.

In recent news, Federal health scientists expressed concern over a GlaxoSmithKline study that the company used to defend the safety of its embattled diabetes drug Avandia, which has potential ties to heart attacks.

Some people who suffered heart problems after taking Avandia, have filed lawsuits withour firm for Avandia settlements compensation.

The Food and Drug Administration posted an exhaustive 700-page review of Avandia on Friday ahead of a meeting this week to decide whether the drug should stay on the market.

One FDA reviewer looked at dozens of studies and found the Avandia diabetes drug increased the risk of death, stroke or heart attack by 44 percent.
