Hello, I’m Jim Burke of Burke & Eisner. Avandia has been a popular drug
prescribed to control Type II Diabetes. But since 2007 there has been a
growing debate over whether Avandia is more likely than other
Diabetes drugs to cause serious heart problems.
Yesterday a joint committee advising the FDA sided with
those who claim it is. Twelve members of this committee voted
to remove the drug from the market, 10 voted to allow it only
with additional warnings and use restrictions, 7 members
called for added warnings, and only three voted to leave the drug
on the market with no warning label changes.
Only two days before this historic vote, the maker of Avandia settled
many of the cases pending in court, and set aside more money
to eventually settle other cases. The message in all this is clear.
If you think your heart trouble is related to your use of Avandia,
you need to take action. Right now. Please don’t put this off. Find out
if Burke & Eisner can help you. To reach us, just fill out our website
