Dangers of Avandia/Why Avandia Stopped

A growing number of Americans today are facing the problem of type 2 diabetes. There are many ways to handle it, including diet, exercise, and prescription medication. Unfortunately, many times these medications are not very well researched, and can have grave adverse effects on an already ailing body. One such medication is Avandia. Avandia was marketed to help control type 2 diabetes, along with a diet and exercise program, and often in conjunction with other medications. However, Avandia can cause fluid retention in the body, which can lead to congestive heart failure (a heart attack).



If heart problems already exist, Avandia can make them worse. Furthermore, this risk is even higher if a patient is taking insulin along with Avandia, which is very common in type 2 diabetes patients. If you or a loved one has been prescribed this medication and have experienced these side effects, you may be entitled to compensation from the drug companies that put out this dangerous product. If you or someone you know are currently using Avandia, and experience any symptoms that could be related to congestive heart failure, contact a doctor and seek medical treatment immediately. It is important that you seek the best medical and legal help available.
