What’s the problem?

According to an analysis of clinical data published on May 21, 2007 in the New England Journal of Medicine, Avandia may significantly increase the risk of death due to cardiovascular problems. A meta-analysis of more than 40 trials indicated that diabetic patients treated with Avandia faced a greater risk of heart-related death than those treated with other diabetes drugs or a placebo. Additionally, the analysis revealed a 43% increased risk of heart attack among Avandia-treated patients.

How To Lower Your Avandia Death Risk

To minimize Avandia drug risks, it’s important that patients do the following before beginning an Avandia regimen:

• Discuss their full medical history with their doctor.
• Tell their doctor about any medications they are currently taking.
• Take the time to learn about all possible Avandia side effects (and their related symptoms).

Following treatment for Avandia drug complications, affected individuals should also meet with an Avandia lawyer to find out if they are entitled to compensation for their injuries.
