Avandia Cases: Wrongful Death Lawsuit Filed in Texas Against Glaxo
Latest developments in Avandia legal cases:
A wrongful death
lawsuit out of Marshall, Texas, has been filed in federal court against the
manufacturer of Avandia, a diabetes treatment drug that has been found to
increase the risk of heart attacks.
According to the Lufkin Daily
News, the action was taken on behalf of Peggie Stanford and Ryan Alan
Stanford, wife and son of Larry Alan Stanford, 60, who died of a heart
attack.
The News reported that the court document alleges
negligence on the part of GlaxoSmithKline, the makers of Avandia (known
generically as rosiglitazone).
The lawsuit accuses the company of
withholding from physicians, patients and the public information it had on
adverse side effects.
Researchers have found that long-term use of
Avandia, prescribed for Type-2 diabetes, increased the risk of heart attack by
42 percent and doubled the risk of heart failure.
