Avandia

Pennsylvania Avandia Lawsuit Attorneys

Diabetes is one of the most common medical problems that exists in the United States today. Given the market's needs, billions of dollars have been spent on research in an attempt to prevent, cure or otherwise control this condition. One of the most promising medications to hit the market in recent years was Avandia, which was introduced byGlaxoSmithKline in 1999.

Avandia is a medication designed to help type 2, non-insulin dependent diabetics improve blood sugar control. Avandia® is part of the glitazone class of drugs that help the body use insulin more effectively; however, some studies have raised concerns about the safety of glitazones. These studies claim that glitazones may be linked to an increased risk of liver and heart problems. Rezulin®, the first drug of this class, was pulled from the market in 2000, following several cases of acute liver failure that led to the death of more than 60 people who used the drug.
