For a decade, Avandia was a leading anti-diabetic treatment for better blood sugar control. But today, strong evidence suggests that this oral medication poses more health risks than benefits. Since its introduction in 1999, thousands of lawsuits were filed linking Avandia use to heart attacks, strokes, congestive heart failure, and even death. And Kansas Avandia lawyers, such as Michael L. Hodges, expect to file many more lawsuits on behalf of clients.In 2010, Avandia manufacturer GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) paid $500 million in Avandia settlements, and industry analysts estimate that GSK liabilities could exceed $1 billion. Avandia side effects can be serious— even life-threatening. Our Kansas and Missouri Avandia lawyers can help you recover compensation for your losses, including medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Kansas Avandia attorney Michael L. Hodges understands the complexities of Avandia litigation and has the expertise to handle your lawsuit effectively.
Diabetics taking Avandia have a 43 percent higher risk of having a heart attack. In fact, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) estimated that Avandia caused over 83,000 heart attacks between 1999 and 2007, and in September 2010, the FDA greatly restricted Avandia use. Despite these new precautions, many diabetics are suffering from adverse side effects, such as heart attacks and strokes, caused by Avandia usage over time. While our law firm has over 30 years of experience representing personal injury clients hurt by faulty products, slip and fall accidents, and bad drugs, Missouri Avandia Lawyer Michael L.
