You may have been prescribed Avandia to treat Type 2 diabetes.  The drug has now been shown to be a threat to your health.  If you have suffered a heart attack or stroke due to Avandia you may be entitled to compensation, however, statutes of limitations vary from state to state and it’s important to make your case now, before it’s too late.

In a recent study, Avandia increased patients’ chance of heart attack by 43 percent and cardiac-related death by 64 percent.  More than 6 million people worldwide have used Avandia (generic name rosiglitazone) since it was approved.  The Food and Drug Administration issued a safety alert on May 21, 2007, but the drug is still in use by an estimated 1 million Americans.
