Avandia Attorneys

The world's top-selling diabetes drug, Avandia, has been linked to PPH (primary pulmonary hypertension), an increased risk of heart failure, heart attack, and death. PPH is a serious condition that may precede heart failure and is characterized by the narrowing of blood vessels and the onset of high blood pressure. Patients who have taken Avandia and been diagnosed with PPH or related condition may be able to hold the drug's maker, GlaxoSmithKline, liable for damages. According to FDA documents, the pharmaceutical company was aware of Avandia's risks as early as 2000 but failed to warn patients and physicians.

The FDA directed GlaxoSmithKline, the drug's maker, to add a bold black box warning to Avandia's label in June 2007 to alert patients and physicians to the heightened risk of heart failure, the precursor of which is often PPH. The agency's action came less than a month after the New England Journal of Medicine published a report linking Avandia to a 30 to 40 percent increased risk of heart attack and heart-related death. The risk of heart failure, however, is considered a separate issue from the drug's heart attack risks, which are still being evaluated.
