: San Antonio Personal Injury LawyerAvandia - Too Toxic to Be On The Market
By Beth Janicek
Avandia (rosiglitazone maleate) prescribed to diabetics helps improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes.
On October 30th, Public Citizen petitioned the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to immediately ban the drug. Avandia causes liver failure, including 12 deaths and has been linked to other serious problems including heart attacks, heart failure, bone fractures, anemia and macular (retinal) edema.
Public Citizen has a website on drug safety and has been warning against this drug for almost four years. The informational website is WorstPill.org and includes their full petition to ban Avandia. The American Diabetes Association (ADA) and the European Association for the Safety of Diabetes has advised against using Avandia.
If you are using Avandia, ask your doctor for a safer drug, including metformin, a sulfonylurea, glipizide or possibly insulin. Actos ( pioglitazone) is in the family of Avandia and is therefore not recommended.
If you have been prescribed Avandia and have suffered dangerous side effects, contact my office.
