Avandia Side Effect Lawyer: Diabetes Drug Damages Liver
Avandia, a compound of rosiglitazone maleate, is an oral
antidiabetic agent. Avandia pills increase insulin sensitivity
for patients with type 2 diabetes, or non-insulin-dependent
diabetes. Avandia also improves glycemic control as it reduces
the circulation of insulin levels. If diet, exercise, and a
single drug are not enough to control blood sugar levels, Avandia
can be used in conjunction with another drug.
Avandia is not to be used for type 1 diabetes (juvenile onset
diabetes) or diabetic ketoacidosis. It is questionable whether
people with heart failure, fluid retention, or active liver
disease should take Avandia at all. Since Avandia became
available there have been reports of the development of hepatitis
(the inflammation of the liver) due to elevated liver enzymes.
Patients taking Avandia should have their liver enzymes monitored
regularly.
Additionally, Avandia is in the same class of drugs as
Rezulin, a very dangerous drug that has been associated with
devastating liver injury including liver failure that can only be
cured with transplant. Without immediate transplant, many Rezulin
liver failures have resulted in death. Because of this close
association with a dangerous drug, users of Avandia should be in
close contact with a doctor if they notice any symptoms of liver
problems such as nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, fatigue, dark
urine, or jaundice. Avandia is also very dangerous for pregnant
women and their unborn children.
It is also advised, should you suffer adversely from the use
of Avandia, to consult a lawyer. The recent proliferation of
dangerous drugs into the marketplace is a disturbing trend, and
should a drug threaten your health you should be repaid for
damages and the drug should be taken off the market.
