Avandia - A Diabetes Drug
The most common diabetes drug in the U.S., Avandia®, or rosiglitazone, is designed to increase the body’s sensitivity to insulin. It is used only to treat type 2, non-insulin dependent diabetes, and has been on the market since 1999. Avandia® is manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline, and an estimated 60 million prescriptions for it have been written. Avandia Side Effects - Avandia Lawyer and Attorney
In December 2006, GlaxoSmithKline alerted physicians that Avandia® had been shown to have side effects that include two kinds of edema in patients. Peripheral edema is a swelling of the extremities due to fluid buildup, while macular edema is a swelling and protein buildup in the eye. These conditions can lead to a multitude of other health complications, including congestive heart failure. One study concluded that individuals taking Avandia® were 43 percent more likely to have a heart attack. The macular edema caused by Avandia® has been shown to cause vision problems, including blurred vision and decreased visual acuity. In addition, Avandia® has been linked to liver problems, rapid weight gain, jaundice, hypoglycemia, and other conditions.
