Avandia
Avandia is a drug designed by GlaxoSmithKline to be an effective method of helping diabetes sufferers keep their blood sugar levels under control. In concert with proper diet and exercise the drug is intended to make the regulation of blood sugar a more manageable process.
Unfortunately, some studies now indicate that an increased risk of substantial health difficulties may be associated with Avandia use. Although not all data has been collected to this point, the data thus far compiled is enough to encourage any Avandia user to seek the advice of a medical expert and a legal expert in case potentially harmful effects arise because of the drug.
The effects that are thus far being potentially connected with the use of Avandia include:
- Heart Failure
- Liver Damage
- Bone Fractures
- Vision Deterioration
- Breathing Problems
- Cardiovascular Problems
- Weight Gain
- Swelling/Weight Gain Caused by Fluid Retention
- Fatigue
Because the data is still considered mixed, the FDA is moving slowly on a certain identification of Avandia as a primary agent in causing many of the side effects mentioned above. There is cause for you or a loved one who is taking Avandia to see a doctor considering the current data so that an identification can be made in your specific case about whether Avandia is having a detrimental overall effect.
