Are you asking yourself, "Do I have an Avandia Lawsuit?"

There are serious risks related to Avandia. Are you aware of them? Continue reading to learn more about the potential deadly side effects.

On May 21, 2007, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) notified healthcare professionals of a possible safety issue connected to Avandia (rosiglitazone).

The FDA is notifying the public regarding an on-going analysis of safety data for the treatment of Type 2 Diabetes with Avandia. This analysis revealed differing rates of cardiovascular problems, including heart attack or heart-related negative events, some fatal, compared to other drugs used to treat diabetes.

Based on this information, the FDA has reached the conclusion that health care providers and prescribers should be vigilant about making individualized treatment decisions for patients with diabetes.
