- FDA Rips Study Favorable to Avandia
Avandia is a drug that’s manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline, one of the true giants of the pharmaceutical industry. It’s used to help patients fight type 2 diabetes, and for years it dominated the market in that regard. However, amidst a large number of reports of serious side effects, Avandia came under intense scrutiny both from the FDA and from Avandia side effects lawyers representing injured clients all over the United States. Tomorrow and Wednesday, a federal panel of experts will discuss whether or not Avandia should remain on the market. In the meantime, a study has been published that’s favorable to the drug, but the FDA has ripped this data prior to this discussion.
If you or someone you love has been injured by Avandia side effects contact a qualified Phoenix personal injury attorney near you for a free legal consultation.
RECORD – A Study of Avandia Side Effects
The study in question is known as RECORD, and it has been done in furtherance of the decision that’s to be made regarding Avandia’s place on the market. It was billed as the most extensive study done to date on the drug and its alleged link to Avandia side effects that include heart attacks, strokes and death. RECORD followed more than 4,000 patients in the study and compared Avandia with two older diabetes drugs, metformin and sulfonylurea. The conclusion was that Avandia posed no greater risk to those who used it than those who used the other drugs.
The FDA Pillories RECORD Study
In response to the publication of these findings, the FDA stated that there were several serious problems with its conclusions. At its core, the FDA’s position and response was that those who were handling the RECORD study repeatedly submitted sloppy data and failed to follow up on reports of Avandia side effects in patients who were taking part in the study. The FDA even stated that the very design of the study was not only inappropriate, but biased. These are very strong terms to be used by a governmental agency.

I enjoy my work day here at Phillips Law Group and generally speaking I love my clients. Every day brings a new client or task to keep me on my toes. Administration keeps open communication and is hilarious most of the time! I love the way we celebrate FRIDAY, holidays and birthdays and how everything is so competitive. All in all I’m so fortunate to be here and I enjoy what I do.

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value As someone who is familiar with the inner workings of the auto insurance industry I can whole heartedly endorse Steven J. Jones and Phillips law group as someone I would want on my side should litigation take place. They handled my case professionally, honestly, and with satisfactory results which I would not have expected without enlisting their help.

I have been with Phillips Law Group for a little over a year and I have learned what teamwork and family in a workplace looks like. There is always someone around to lend a helping hand, which is something I appreciate and cherish. I feel a sense of joy coming to work every day because of my co-workers as well as being able to help people in what can be a scary and stressful situation. I currently work as a Litigation Legal Assistant with an amazing team. When I started here, I was not very knowledgeable in personal injury. I was lucky to have been placed with an amazing team who was willing to take time to teach and pass on some great skills that have been a huge aid in helping me be successful in my position. I would recommend working here at Phillips Law Group, because they care about their employees and there is so much room for growth.

Although my accident was fortunately not a major one, The Phillips Law Group AZ treated it as such. Their staff, specifically Mr Juan Roque was very professional, courteous and most importantly very informative. Mr Roque's attentive service was phenomenal and I highly recommend this firm!

Kathy Hudson and Donato Giovanatto. Continues to go above and beyond the call of duty. Reaching out to the insurance company about the damage to the vehicle. Forcing them to take responsibility.
