What Are the Side Effects of Avandia?
At the time it was released, Avandia (rosiglitazone) was thought to be an improvement upon existing diabetes drugs. Unfortunately, evidence suggests Avandia can lead to:
- Excessive weight gain
- Liver toxicity
- High cholesterol
- Heart murmurs
- Stroke
- Heart attack
- Congestive heart failure
- Wrongful death
Patients with underlying heart problems are especially prone to suffering Avandia side effects. Our lawyers are skilled litigators with extensive experience handling pharmaceutical liability cases. Our Memphis attorneys will work to determine whether or not your use of Avandia contributed to your injury, assess how severe the injury and your damages are, and help you explore all potential sources of compensation.
