Avandia Lawsuit Settlement of $60M Will Resolve 700 Cases: Report May 11, 2010 Staff Writers Add Your Comments GlaxoSmithKline PLC has reportedly agreed to pay $60 million to settle about 700 Avandia lawsuits filed over side effects of their diabetes drug. However, the drug maker still faces thousands of other similar suits filed throughout the United States alleging that they failed to adequately warn about the risk of heart attacks, heart failure and other injuries. The Avandia settlements were reached to between Glaxo and two law firms representing hundreds of clients, sources told Bloomberg News. The agreement is believed to be the first settlement of Avandia injury claims brought by users, and Bloomberg reports that the drug maker is continuing negotiations to settle Avandia lawsuits with other lawyers. Avandia (rosiglitazone) was approved in the United States in 1998 to treat type 2 diabetes by helping control blood sugar levels. The drug has been used by millions of diabetics, but sales have plummeted in recent years as concerns have mounted about the risk of serious and potentially life-threatening heart risks with Avandia. Some experts estimate that Avandia has caused between 60,000 and 200,000 heart attacks and deaths due to cardiovascular problems in the U.S. from 1999 to 2006.

Lawsuits are being filed by young adults and students who were targeted by deceptive promotions, addictive app features, and aggressive marketing tactics. See if you qualify for a sports betting addiction lawsuit. Learn More SEE IF YOU QUALIFY FOR COMPENSATION Concerns about the risk of heart problems with Avandia first gained widespread attention in May 2007, when a meta-analysis of 42 different clinical trials was published in the New England Journal of Medicine, suggesting that users of Avandia had a 43% increased risk of a heart attack. In the United States, GlaxoSmithKline PLC currently faces thousands of lawsuits over Avandia filed by former users of the drug who allege that the drug company failed to adequately research their medication or warn users about the serious side effects. Federal Avandia litigation has been consolidated into an MDL, or Multidistrict Litigation, for pretrial litigation in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, where the first trial is expected to begin in July. Details of the agreement are unknown, including the nature of the injuries involved in the cases. However, the Avandia settlement breaks down to an average of about $86,000 per plaintiff. Pressure to resolve the Avandia cases has increased in recent months with the first trials approaching and a renewed push by critics for a recall of Avandia to be issued. Earlier this year, a Senate report was released that criticized GlaxoSmithKline for intimidating doctors who spoke out about Avandia side effects and for failing to adequately warn users about the risk of a heart attack from side effects of Avandia. Last week, at a House Agriculture Appropriations subcommittee hearing, several lawmakers entered testimony criticizing the FDA for not issuing an Avandia recall and questioning how the drug was ever approved in the first place. FDA is currently conducting an Avandia safety review and estimates that it will conclude its investigation some time in July. Some of the FDA’s own drug reviewers said as early as 2007 that Avandia poses too great of a health risk for too few benefits. The FDA is considering pulling the plug on an Avandia study, called TIDE, which is looking at the side effects of Avandia compared to those of Actos, a competing diabetes medication manufactured by Takeda Pharmaceuticals. The FDA says that given the Avandia heart attack risks, it may be unethical to continue the trials.

She was taking the drug Avandia at the time. I am still angry and devastated at her sudden loss. There is no amount of money that can bring back her existence. I warn others of this potentially hazardous drug for many patients undergoing treatment for Diabetes. Legal actions have been initiated so I have no further comments. connie July 27, 2010 My husband had kidney failure September 2005. May 2006 he died of a heart attack at the age of 55. Contacted lawyer in Novemeber 2008. They cant answer how much or when a settlement will be. I lost my husband, my house, my car and had to move in with my son. I feel like a loser at the age of 59. Mostly because I lost my childhood sweetheart who was my husband for 35 and a half years. He cannot be replaced. What is the value of a persons life in these lawsuits? Avandia also causes weight gain. I was looking at the last state i.d. he had taken on 05/02 weight 250 and drivers license taken 12/03 he looked like he weighed over 350..at time of his death the autopsy showed his weight to be over 500 lbs. Yes five hundred pounds. You dont think that is hard on the heart too? Jeffrey July 26, 2010 Just because it was reported in the news that GSK was settling 10,000 claims, does not mean that it is true. I am sure they put that rumor out there just because it was a couple of days before the FDA votes. I doubt any claims have been settled, or will be anytime soon. No one’s lawyer has heard anything about it mary July 22, 2010 hi im back just to let you all know i just found out my lawyer is one that hasent even ben able to go to court thats bonkers ive fillied i54 or 5 yrs ago still setting he told me maybe will get into court this next time in oct i receved a letter in may told me i was going to court in june. june came and went.. my lawyer said my case was pulled that none of his casses were going on the docket in june what does it take to go to court ive been haveing some real strange things happeing to me lately MARY S July 22, 2010 I WAS HOSPITALIZED FOR A HEART CONDITION AND HOSPITAL FOUND I ALSO HAD DIABETES AND PERSCRIBED AVANDIA. SEVERAL MONTHS LATER ( 2006-2007 ) I HAD TWO CORONERY ATTACKS AFTER TAKING THIS MED. OVER A PERIOD OF ONE YEAR …BUT HOW CAN YOU PROVE IT WAS AVANDIA? I NEED HELP IN THIS…TWO EMERGENCY TRIPS TO OUR MEDICAL CENTER AND I NEVER WAS AWARE THAT AVANDIA WAS OR COULD BE A PROBLEM MED. A LAW GROUP, WE CONSULTED, ON-LINE WANTS UNLIIMITED PAYMENTS OF EXPENSES AND 40% ON TOP OF THAT…THUS I WOULD PROBABLY END UP, WITH A FREE LUNCH AT IHOP…AND THEY, POSSIBLY GET VERY RICH…I HAD TO SUFFER FOR THAT… HOW ABOUT AN ANSWER. THIS ASSUMES WE COULD PROVE THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE MED AND MY CONDITION. I AM 75 ! Dana July 19, 2010 I got my pharmacy records and took about a 1,000 of these pills. I was hospitalized a couple of years after stopping the Avandia with CHF. I had talked with an attorney some time back and because I was not on the drug AT the time of my CHF, I could not be included in the lawsuit. I am researching to see if there are any changes to that rule…does anyone have any info on this? Thanks! Rebecca July 19, 2010 My mom have been taking Avandia for months and after starting Avandia she was diagnosed with a heartattack and she has had several stents.She have been in and out of the hospital and ER at this point she can’t perform hardly any of her tasks,bills outrageous things just seem to be going downhill I truly think Avandia played a major roll in her health condition… Dave July 19, 2010 My father just passed away 6/21/2010, he has been taken Avandia for seveal years. My dad always took care of his health.I talk him on fathers day, and he was fine, lost him the next day to a heart attack. Jeffrey July 15, 2010 GlaxoSmithKline was set to pay 2-6 billion for these lawsuits, why would the lawyers be settling for the lowball offer of 460m they are offering?? The company is going to get away paying only millions, which is pocket change to them. I just don’t understand why the lawyers would let this happen. It is just not right, especially after reading the stories here. Carrie July 15, 2010 My husband was 43 when he was first prescribed Avandia. 6 months after he started taking it he had his first heart attack. Since then he has had 6 heart attacks and 5 stents. All of the hours and days of worrying if he was going to make it out of the hospital…No amount of money can replace a person but when it comes to bills that causeed us to downsize and him not being able to work…well, money sure would help us out. All of the stories I have read on here are just heart breaking and I wish you all the best in this. Rick July 14, 2010 in 2004 I began taking Avandia. From the begining I was unable to breathe after walking a short distance… March 2005 I was rushed to the ER… the drs were undecided whether I had double pnuemonia or congested heart failure. I was put on insulin ever since. Three weeks later I developed a blood clot in my left leg. I recently was admitted to ER and then ICU for chest pains and shortness of breath. I was on 25mg of Nitro and percodan for pain for 36 hrs finally was given lovalox and had releif my endochronologists said a blood clot was busted up.. they continued and giave me a stress test which I failed.. heart was catherterized no damage or blockage found…. discharged 3 weeks later back at ER enzymes showed on heart attack Dr said I have Dyspnea checking into whatever that is… I am on all kinds of medicines have developed allergic reactions ever since taking Avandia I was 53 when all this trouble started now at 58 hospital bills out of control have had 4 or 5 jobs can’t seem to perform job anymore….. WHAAAA!!!!! Linda July 14, 2010 I began taking Avandia Oct. 06, and actos Dec 07. I continued to take both drugs for diabetes until I had so much vomiting and diarrhea from Chemo that I couldn’t keep the drugs down. I was diagnosed with HCC Primary liver cancer July 08. I was not expected to live past Christmas of 08. I made it to see 3 more grandchildren be born. My liver cancer was the size of a cabbage. It began shrinking after I was put on a Chemo Pill–Nexavar. In Feb. 10, It was the size of a walnut, and May 12. 2010 it was just scar tissue–no cancer. I am still on Nexavar and will have my next MRI (I am allergic to iodine in the CT Scan) in September. I would like to have some information about settlements and law suit facts/dates etc. I believe Avandia caused the liver cancer. I was did not have hepatitis nor sciorous of the liver which is common for HCC patients. edward July 13, 2010 MARY, HAS IT RIGHT , YOU ARE NOT REQUIRED TO SIGN OFF ON ANY SETTLEMENT THAT THE LAWYERS REACH . YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO HAVE YOUR DAY IN COURT . ALONG WITH THE RISK INVOLVED OF A SMALLER SETTELMENT ARE THE REWARDS OF JUSTICE BEING SERVED THE DEVIOUS S-BS.

I would like to say thanks for the warnings. I have been taking Avandia for aboutt 6 months now. My blood sugar is under control but I am 2 weeks shy of 40 and I hae two small children to consider. Thanks to your shard experience I have taken the last Avandia pill. I will have to make sacrifices. Thank you Donald July 11, 2010 I am now 46 years old and have had 3 heart attacks after taking avandia. The first 2 happened when i was 42 years old, the second one was just 6 weeks after the first. I am a slim build and thought I would never have a heart attack, much less 3. Mary July 9, 2010 My husband died in 2007 from the side effects of this drug. He had never had any heart issues prior to taking it and within a year of starting treament with it he was gone. If I have to petition our government and the medical community to have this drug removed and resonable and fair settlements for those harmed this will be my goal for the rest of my life and my childrens lives. They were grown when their dad past, but I feel for those who had young children that this drug devastated their families. Keep strong and keep speaking out! lori July 8, 2010 I know how the one lady feels about losing her mother i also lost my mother who was taking avavdia. She was found dead on the toliet by my brother. SHE WAS ONLY 59 YEARS OLD. hOW CAN THEY NOT DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS DRUG AND WHAT IT HAS DONE TO THESE PEOPLE AND THERE FAMILIES. MY HEART GOES OUT TO ALL OF YOU. Joan July 6, 2010 I took Advandia for 6 years, starting on 4mg daily – after 4 yrs doctor increased to 8mg daily – 6 months later I had a stroke and had to have carotid to carotidy bypass surgery. Complications included a GI bleed that resulted in rehospitalization two months later. I now have Stage 111 renal disease and I am taking so much medication – that react with each other and I have a swiss-cheese brain from the stroke. I was advised by my class action attorneys that Glaxo had settled the claims for the claimants they represent – that was a month ago with no idea as to when the funds will be disbursed. Don’t call us – we will contact you. Pam July 5, 2010 forgot to say my husband was 44 when he died of the heart attack Pam July 5, 2010 I contacted an attorney last year, but I haven’t heard anything yet. The last time I asked they told me that it could take 3-5 years before I would know anything. My husband took Avandia in 2000 when he was first diagnosed with diabetes, he passed away from a heart attack in Oct that same year. Because it was 9 years after the fact, I had trouble finding documentation of exactly how long he took it. I did provide the Dr info, so hopefully the attorneys were able to get the information. Will I have to wait until all the settlements are done before I will know if they got enough information? Melissa July 5, 2010 I had been on Avandia for several years. Had a stroke at age 32. I am a lucky one. I have problems thinking of what I want to say or do. Some days it seems like I’m just out in space. I was very depressed after my stroke. At being such a young age with 2 baby girls. It left me in a depression that I thought I would never get out of. I’m going to be 38 this month and I thank the lord every day that I get to spend with my girls. Thank you all for sharing your comments. You all will be in my thoughts and prayers. I am they lucky one to just be a little slower at things and to be missing out on my loved ones lives. Thank you again, Melissa William July 3, 2010 I have had a heart attack in 2006 could have died but with my quick thought to have my wife dial 911 and a asprin under my tounge I was good until the paramedics got there with nitro spray. had 2 stents inserted and was out of work for 6 weeks. and it seems that if you were smart enough to want to survive then you will get the big screw job!!!! I am plueged with a bad heart for the rest of and who knows how long that will be life with medicians and doc. bill’s. Also who knows how long a stent will last I seen the news and they sort of give them 5 years so I may never know it will just colapse and I die at my wifes feet!!!! So what is the case really worth!!!! as little as $10,000.00 because some who never had that terrible heart attack feeling that you may die!!!! or is it worth a sum of $1,000,000.00 where your you never have to worry how you are going to pay for you being on a resporator for 3 or more years do to the next heart attack. Kirk July 2, 2010 i satrted taking avandia in1999, 6 mos.later I had my first heart attack, since I have had 5 attacks, 12 stents,3 angioplastys, and a quad bypass @ 39 years old, I quit taking the drug only because i was disabled for 5 years and could not afford it. i was able to go back to work within 6 mos od stopping the meds. i passed a stress test and went back to work, only after i lost my truck,camper. house of 24 years and marriage due to finances. listening to these stories I think i was lucky! Dave July 2, 2010 I have congestive heart failure, and cardiomyopathy, because of Avandia! Lost my job, my home, my car! Ended up in a homeless shelter, couldn’t keep a job because I kept getting CHF and other heart complications! Was in a lot of pain and discomfort! Was sent to another homeless shelter, where they helped me get my disability! I am 53yrs old now, and will take diuretics for the rest of my life, and insulin, and meds for my heart! THANK GOD! I am still here to tell you this story! I am just glad i quit this medication in time, but time is still something I don’t know if I still have or not! The damage is already done! Sad way to live isn’t it? So I just live day by day, and pray! 🙁 wanda July 2, 2010 i started taking advandia in 05.. was in good health otherwise.. went to new doc. said i had ischemia.. further tests done.. had heart attack in 06 with a double bypass.. hope they get those people..they should pay for all the lives they have ruined. i was 42 when this happened.. life not the same now.. cant get jobs.. cant do the work i used to do.. nobody wants to hire you with a heart cond.. Phil July 1, 2010 my wife is 63 years old…she has been on this medicine for quite sometime max. dosage..is there still help out there for possibility of compensation?..any ides would be welcome..thanks..her husbabd… james June 30, 2010 I can sympathize with your frustration over settlements. We filed an ACTOS case in mid 2007 and just got a letter saying our case didn’t fit the criteria. 3 years to tell us that. ARE YOU SERIOUS!!! How long could it take to evaluate medical papers? The case never was even filed in court. Now we are out in the cold on this because of STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS. BTW, don’t you believe that ACTOS is a safe alternative. IT ISN’T. Toni June 29, 2010 I was on Avandia for years …My father recommended it, since he was on the same drug….He past away and I remember getting a call and the Doctor asking me what happened we gave your father a clean bill of health …..I had a heart attack at the age of 44 yr. I had no cholesterol, no high blood pressure and my diabetes was under control….Till today when I see doctors they ask me why did I have a heart attack and that I’m to young….?? Aren’t they the ones who are suppose to have the answers???? velma June 28, 2010 i have been taking avndia for 6 years and in november 2009 i had a fall and spent 4 days in hospital, all different tests were taken, but everything was fine but i am not ok i have short breath chest pains , and funny feelings sometimes my feet are been swollen and i have a skin disorder which i was told it is due to the avandia. i occured about 2 years since i started taking avandia Ginger June 26, 2010 I was on Avandia for approximately 2 years when I had a stroke at the age of 36. I now have a rare pain condition as a result of the stroke and I’m in constant pain that there is no help for. Because of the stroke I am also hypersensitive on my left side so there are times when just the feeling of my clothes on my skin is excruciating. I’m no longer able to work because of the pain and focal seizures. I have become a prisoner in my own house because I never know when a seizure will hit. It has also taken a toll on my marriage as my husband is afraid to work more than part time now because my stroke was “silent” (happened in my sleep). So he’s afraid to leave me alone for long periods. I’ve almost caught the house on fire twice because I have short term memory loss and forget that I have things on the stove. I just wish this nightmare would/could end. Jeff June 26, 2010 How can 700 people be getting $86,000.00, and then as stated by Robert above, him only getting about $10,000.00?? Brenda June 25, 2010 My husband died a year ago Pam June 25, 2010 Unfortunately I lost my dad to a heart attack on September 22, 2008 to a heart attack , He had taken the drug Advantia for some time. We were not told that it could cause heart attacks. The doctor said at one time this was a very good drug and the benefits out weighed the risks. When I found out the side affects on this web site I was devestated. Tammy June 23, 2010 My husband took this killer drug for about 2 years. He died in 2008 at the early age of 37, leaving me with two small sons to take care of. He had congestive heart failure. I’m just waiting to see if anything will be done as far as a settlement for compensation. robert June 21, 2010 just opened letter from atty about settlement of avandia.when all is said and done will be lucky to get 10 grand.gotta be kidding.if thats all taking your health and life away is worth,why did they even waste the time. susan June 20, 2010 has anyone actually seen any money from avandia lawsuits Elaina June 17, 2010 I feel all of your of your pain… My mother was takin the KILLED PILL AVANDIA, for 4 years… She is dead now… at the age of 50… It was on Monday May 7, 2007 at 3:30 in the afternoon when I saw my mother last right before she went to work… I said bye mom I love you have a good night at work… an be careful… I got a phone call from my 9 yr old daughter at 5:30 A.M. … Momma!!! Somethings wrong with Granny, She’s aleep on the tolite, and won’t wake up… and she’s got a rash…. well it was not a rash at all it was where the blood had started comming to the surface she had been there for about 2 to 2 1/2 to 3 hours, before my daughter and 8 yr old son found her… You think you have a horror story, think about the nightmares my 8 and 9 yr old still have today… and my dad what he has to go through of not only loosing a wife of 35 yrs, but his first and only love of his life, and then having to hold an 11 and 12 yr old still today and let them just cry to get it out of their system for a while… J.Creighton June 16, 2010 My husband started taking Avandia Jan. 2007. He stopped taking it Jan. 2007 when bad reports came out. In May 2007 he went to ER, they sent him home saying blocked arteries, nothing to do at this time. In Jan. 2008 he started having more heart problems, he died April 2008 at the age of 65. james June 13, 2010 Sad to hear these horror stories, but I can relate. I know it is claimed that Avandia is worse than Actos, but you’d never convince my family. My uncle has liver scarring. My aunt’s lower limbs swelled so bad that she couldn’t wear shoes for a long while. Worst of all, my dad was on Actos for 7 months before his doctor discontinued the use because of edema. He did not get better. He developed congestive heart failure and passed away at age 58, about 1 year after stopping the use of this awful drug. Christina June 13, 2010 I’m with Mike…my husband was only 41 when he died (taking Avandia) he was strong and despite having diabetes, at autopsy his blood sugar, cholesterol etc was NORMAL….he was so young and so strong…what the heck is happening with this MDL?? mike June 9, 2010 sounds like my scenario, wife died in 2005 because of this drug,im not going to settle for pennies i want justice a day in court for 35 yrs of marriage, she was 56 whaen she passed because of this drug Grace June 8, 2010 I read on yesterday the advandia has settled 5,000 more claims which I think it was approximately 13,000 filed….when will we know if our claim has been settled Sabel June 7, 2010 I am looking for and lawyer to handle my case. since I didn’t die no lawyer wants to help me. I will be taking medication(s) the rest of my life becuse of this, crap. pablo June 7, 2010 my husband was on advandia and actos.now he has endma.serve liver diaease.inlarged spleem ascties portal hpyertension the list goes on and on 100,000 in medical bills.now he need a whole liver transplant.my husband is on his last leg.the people who sold this no good drug they should take this drug and kill them selfs.now im losing my husband after being married for 32 years.its sad that you have lose a loved one. Faith May 22, 2010 Thank God you all lived to tell the horrors of this drug. My brother was not, he died on November 29, 2005 as a result of this drug. Our family is devistated, Thanksgiving and Christmas is especially hard because my beloved brother died around this time. I immediately began researching this death drug Avandia/Avandament back in 2006, printed off tons of information and pleaded with attorneys to take the case, but none were interested at the time, now lawyers are coming out of the woodwork. I just hope that my brother’s death will not be in vain and that we (his family) receive adequate compensation; howver, the question begs…what value to you place on an irreplacable human life. To the survivors, live well, be strong and carry on. grace May 21, 2010 I saw the advandia settlement does that mean that all the claimants throughout the US claims will be settled soon also, if so I wonder how long will it be before they start issuing funds to each claimant. Is the above settlement just for that law firms claimants.ie plantiffs rebecca c May 20, 2010 86.000 what? lets hope thats for the people with small injuries or a bad medical history. thats not a settlement but a insult if thats the avarage settlement. that just a slap on the wrist. people out there who suffered because of avandia also have long term affects after all this is over small or big. suffering is suffering young, old, rich, or poor. what is there a licence to hurt or injured people and lie about it i dont know about. then toss a few penneys around to get away with it that easy. is gsk calling the shots and who gets what in there own lawsuite.people who suffered can still have more medical conditions in th future. even a higher risk of a 2nd heart attack. jeez! nothing suprises me anymore. Steve May 12, 2010 i HAD A HEART ATTACK IN 2005 AFTER TAKING aVANDIA SEVERAL YEARS I HAD TO HAVE A QUADRUPLE BYPASS A DEFIBULATOR AND A PACE MAKER THAT THEY SAY NOW HAS A BAD lEAD. i WAS 54 YEARS OLD WORKING AND TRYING TO ENJOY LIFE OF COURSE SINCE THEN WITH BILLS AFTER A 30 DAY HOSPITIAL STAY AFTER THIS HEART ATTACK AND ALMOST LOSING MY HOME BECAUSE i HAD OTHER PROBLEMS AFTER THIS THAT REQUIRED STENTS. i ALSO DIED 3 TIMES ON THE WAY TO THE HOSPITIAL IN THE AMBULANCE.
