Avandia Lawsuit Information
The drug Avandia has been shown to be a dangerous drug that possesses serious risks in causing severe heart injuries or death in diabetic patients. Millions of dollars have already been paid out in the ongoing Avandia lawsuit settlements by the manufacturers of this defective medication because of Avandia's unchecked, widespread use in the United States.
At the law firm of Aaron M. Levine & Associates, our attorneys have represented people harmed by Avandia and other defective drugs in Washington, D.C., and across the United States. If you or a loved one has suffered an injury from Avandia, it is important to speak with a lawyer as soon as possible to understand your rights and options.

Tragically, the side effects of Avandia make it a cure that is far worse than the disease. The drug has been linked to a number of severe and life-threatening side effects that include, but are not limited to, heart attacks, strokes, pulmonary embolisms and deep vein thrombosis DVT.
The Avandia settlement is ongoing. After the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) panel determined that Avandia carried heart risks in 2007, GlaxoSmithKline has since paid $460 million to settle lawsuits. In 2011, GlaxoSmithKline has set aside another $3.4 billion dollars to resolve Avandia lawsuits.
If you are still on Avandia, be sure to speak with your doctor to learn why it is necessary for you to still be on the medication and what alternative medications might be available.
