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.

And has anyone got anything yet? joe October 17, 2012 Mass Tort is a term that is to define your case.Unless class lawsuit, you get an equal amount of rewards divided up with all the claims that was sent by your lawyer. In mass tort, your settlement is rewarded base by what your injuries are. The settlement fund are various within the group. Richard October 13, 2012 What is mass Torte? The minute my dad went off it he had a heart attack. My mom had some heart problem and died at 67. But I had problems early. And she didnt have any trouble until then. The doctors have always told me to stay on plavix or your arteries could get blocked again. but alot of insuranc companies dont want to pay for it cause it is so expensive. I just wonder why this is taking so long. The attourney told me it should be finished by the end of the year. but I dont think so I have allready qualified but dont know for how much . joe October 8, 2012 Between your Oct 2 and 6 comments, yes to the question of bypass is more then stents. The plavix in general, the doctors would love for you to stay on them. Some doctor will take you off after 4-5 years of taken plavix. Talk to your doctor. Your problem with your kidney and poor circulation. When did it start. from the heart attack. Because you smoke and overweight, Gsk will take points away from you when breaking down the settlement. Richard October 6, 2012 people that had a bypass probably get more dont they? I had a heart attack and had to have a stint put in. This has been going on for a long time, Has anyone got a settlement yet and how long did it take? but I am nit as bad off as what I have heard on hear. Sorry for your loss. I have had problems with my kidneys and poor circulation and I know that is due to my heart. Before I took Avandia I didnt have any heart oroblems.. I am now on alot of different heart meds. but do have high colesteral and High blood pressure but those are controlled with medication. I am over weight too. Well those be a factor as to how much I could get? Does anybody know anything about this? Joe October 2, 2012 Andrew. i am so sorry to hear about your mother and I hope that your father is getting along OK. have you done any research on avandia and or have a claim against GSK. just to let you know, that some folks have re’cd a settlement base on their injury. Please research and look to see if you have a claim. You will never prove that avandia cause your mother death. The system won’t allow you to do that. That is why FDA and the G’ovt were paid off. File a claim with a medical malpractice lawyer. You might be entitled to a settlement It could be a little money or a lot of money. But it is money that can go into your father’s pocket just to say “F k” you to these CEO at gsk. I understand the pain you and your father have. No money no matter how much can never ever replace a love one. Richard October 2, 2012 I had a heart attack i in 2003 and had to have a stint put in, I did smoke so I know there well be some points taken off for that. It has been over 4 years and still havent heard anything. Was only 42 at the time of the ordeal. I think they are taking there sweat time.. I am on Plavix whitch is an expensive drug and have to take it from now on. Andrew October 1, 2012 Lost my mom in Dec 2009. I was going through her medical bills and found prescriptions for Avandia!! My dad called me two weeks prior to her passing – I rushed over and found that she was badly Jaundiced and they would not give her any pain medicine until they could determine what was wrong due to the systems affected – this was the case right up to her death. In this time they made a calculated guess that she was suffering from a rare form of gallbladder cancer (that’s what we were told) and was suffering from hypercalcemia. The cancer spread its way thru to her liver and kidneys – finally the fluids built up and they wanted to biopsy at the same time they were draining fluid (no anesthetic!) – she died on the table after suffering two heart attacks. If I can prove that this drug was the cause – all three – Mr. Glaxo, Smith and Klein or CEOs thereof will be judged, found accountable and sentenced – God have mercy on their souls – because I won’t. It’s time these a$$hat eugenicists learn that they can no longer hide behind the farce we call a legal system. I doubt very much that anyone seeking financial compensation will ever see it. They are too busy working on their next “sustainable development” wonder drug. Come on people, these are our loved ones they are killing for profit! Jack September 28, 2012 NO ONE will ever get 1 dime out of GSK except the lawyers and court adminstrators which are being paid monthly to keep the cases from being settled. Don’t kid yourself, when your lawyer tells you a settlement is coming and now they’re doing mathmatical calculations to determine awards ask this question. What is the deadline for these calculations to be completed and you will be told that there isn’t one. A first year law student knows to set deadlines. These lawyers are being paid by GSK to dray this out as long as possible. Just my opionion but think about it. NO DEADLINE MEANS NO PAYMENT!!!!!! James September 16, 2012 Lost my best friend due to this drug at his young age of 61.I called him Dad. RIP 2006 joe August 13, 2012 Diana, all you have to do is go to the pharmacy that was used. They have the records of when and what you took from what date to what gate. Diana August 10, 2012 Have Zonie law firm and was with one of the first cases on the docket in 2010,they recieved a settlement however was just told that they don’t have medical records/been running around trying to get the information needed, however can’t find proof in records that I even took Avanda. I am not crazy and know that it was prescribed to me but had two medical insurance, 2 different Drs. and now I feel like I am crazy. How can they go to court on my behalf and not have proof to support that I even took the med. I am living with the results. About to walk away from this case because it’s causing me headaches joe August 8, 2012 Robert, don’t waste your time and energy. Your asking for a federal investigation. HA HA HA. you have stated that the G’ovt got 3 billion of the funds. Do you ever give thought to why they got 3 billion. Payoff to keep there mouths shut. You want to contact your congressmen and senator to investigate why the money is in there pocket. Just to let you know GSK by letter of the law, is not guilty of any harm that avandia has “suppose” to have done. I too am waiting about a year just to get a letter telling me what my value of the settlement will be Bob l August 8, 2012 well everyone asks why so low an amount to the claimants? Well the attorneys get %40 of the total settlement … who benefits from this???????????????????????????????? robertdrobert August 7, 2012 i have been waiting years too every one seems to have the same sad story my attorneys in texas-clark burnett-have never sent me a letter of case progress or status i have called 15 times always an answerring machne leave a message a woman calls back with same generac answer (it will be months and months and months) she never runs out of mounths iam sick of this us gouverment got 3 billion dollars from this lawsuit i want my cut iam contacting my congressman and senator i want federal investigation about wheres the loot–a bunch of crooks investigating a bunch of crooks whats the odds of a good result–zilch-nada-none but maybe an election year will get some results god knows we all need it –good luck yosep August 4, 2012 i have spent more than i was suppose to get, on hospitals and drugs, three heart attachs later, i now think my texas lawyer has taken all my settlement, a settlement was made several months ago, but when i call , all i get is a bunch of bull Tracy July 16, 2012 Good luck and God bless us all who are waiting. We are all being told the same thing. Been waiting since 2009, was just told will be another year or longer. lotsa luck Tracy Beverly July 15, 2012 I am shocked at how many people have died from causes of taking Avandia. My husband started taking it in 2001, had heart attack, open heart surgery and diagnosed with congestive heart failure in 2004. Quite taking Avandia in 2006 when a Resident doctor told him he shouldn’t be taking it. He continued to have problems but we didn’t contact the class action attorney til early 2007. I did 98 percent of record gathering. My husband died last year in Aug. I was in contact with the Attorney group in Denver in Jan. or Feb. this year. They keep giving me the run-around and tell me it’s a different situation since my husband died. I am about ready to give up and not worry about any settlement. Money won’t bring my husband back. It’s been over 5 yrs. since we began the suit! Amy July 13, 2012 I lost my grandmother from a heart attack and just learned from my mother about thedrug being the cause of her life ending way too early. My mom got a letter today that they settled and she needs to sign some paper but she doesn’tknow what she is signing. Did anyone else get one or know what I’m talking about? DEBRA July 10, 2012 The law firm handling the case on my mothers behalf is the Miller Firm LLC, and never in my life have I come across a group of uncareing human beings, they make me feel like my mother was just a claim number, thats what her life means to them. She died serveral years ago, it hurts to see her being raked over the coals from a law firm that sucks you in with their ads… I feel like a big SUCKER KAT G June 28, 2012 Hi. First I would like to say that I am sorry for everyone’s loss. I lost both of my parents 6 months apart. They both were on Avandia for years. I was just wondering if anyone uses Salim Atty. in Louisiana. They are the lawyers that are handling my case. I signed my papers in 2008. Still have not received an allotment letter. Just wanting to know if anyone has had any luck? Please share your post. Thanks. BRIAN June 28, 2012 Yes , i email them and they call me back within days if not hours I just wonder how much they charge for the call??? Hang in there it probably won’t be long now AND no ,amount is any good I am having troubles with my heart for the 18TH time and may have to have another hospital visit YAAAAA! Lorriane June 24, 2012 Brian, I have the same lawyer (Zonies) and have not heard anything from themsince 1/12 when they sent me a letter about the process. Getting tired of waiting, however no amount of money can help put me back together again. brian June 19, 2012 I talked to ZONIES 2 times ,last one was MARCH 11 2012 he told me i was accepted for settlement CHF was the main thing he would not say how much, just that it was BIG three times Also i got a letter explaining the process and how it would go But!!! the letter did state it would be on a point basis [but not how much per point] Hopin for a settlement letter soon? Randal June 13, 2012 My mom was supposedly awarded 12,000 which she might see 7,000 of after lawyers get theirs she is very ill only 63 and they keep saying the check might come next month every time we call! What a joke, so where is all that big money sitting an collecting Capitol? kat g June 11, 2012 yes diane, sign it and fill it out. You need to. That is more than likely the first steps of the process. If you need help or assistance, notify the law firm on your papers. They will assist you. Good Luck! Kat G June 11, 2012 Hi everyone. Very sorry to hear about all of the health and lives lost due to this medicine. I lost my mother in 2007, and my father 6 months later in 2008. My deepest sympathies. I recieved a letter from my lawyer and attached was a waiver from Garrestson group. I had to allow Medicare to get money back….but my father was never on Medicare. Anyway..the lawyers office that have my case is wonderfull. They answer all my questions and concerns, and actually return emails and phone calls. (Thanks Erin B.!) I am wanting to know if anyone has recieved a check that used the Salim law firm out of Louisiana? And if you feel comfortable, give me a rough estimate of the amount. My brother and I are desperate to put an end to this. The first thing I signed on this was dated 2009. Its 2012. They need to put all of this to rest so when can get on with our lives. dianne May 18, 2012 i would like for someone to answer this for me.about two months ago.i got a lot of paper to sign. is this good or bad?.and whats next. Bruce April 24, 2012 I have had 3 heart attacks,a stroke and died 8 times,we all deserve more than the company is being forced to pay.They are waiting for all of us to die off and they will be in the clear.The law firms did not suffer or lose any thing and they are the ones getting all the money.I hope I live long enough to collect but I’ll not see any of it maybe my grandkids will see it.I fell sorry for the ones that lost LOVE ONES,I guess I’m one of the lucky ones I don’t have good health but atleast I am still above the grass. Candice April 9, 2012 I have had the stroke,the stints, bypass, CHF I am also a type II diabetic, was in good health and the darn pill had my diabetes under control until the day of my first heart attack, the hospital I was admitted to saw Advandia on the list of medicine and told me that I had to get off of it and hopefully the heart will be ok. It’s not, that little pill took over my whole life plans. Two years ago I answered a questioner here on the internet. This past week I received a letter stating that Glaxo Smith Kline has approved me as a qualified claim. It stated that once the claims period is over the process of settlement and lien resolutions begins and that will be towards the end of 2012. The letter also contained paper work for such loan advancement where not recommended are available. No mention how much the claim is. I feel for everyone in this law suite and wish them good luck. joe April 3, 2012 Tracy, I understand the pain you are going thru, but please use logic when fighting Gsk and the law. First: by rejecting a settlement offer, make sure that your lawyer knows this. In a lot of agreements with the lawyer, it states that if you reject the settlement you must seek another counsel. This means that you are rejecting and going to court. If and when you go to court, this is being done by you, therefore you must pay your lawyer to file and get a court date.Once you are in court, YOU must prove to the court GSK guilt. Has of today, GSK has not been found guilty of any wrong doing. Where are you going to get witnesses to testify. Also, you must pay these witnesses (professional lab tech) to come to court. Theses folks will not “volunteer” nothing without proper “comp.” Last, you can lose in court. If you do, you lose everything, including the settlement funds, money you now must pay your lawyer, win or lose, they want payment. I am not telling you don’t go to court, I am just giving you a heads up on what you could be up against. tracy March 30, 2012 I am in shock of all these deaths. my mom was 54 and had two heart attacks congested heart failure and a stent put in. But after the 2nd attack she died. I would give bak all money to have her back but unfortunitly its not possiable. I agree with most, i will not settle for pennies. This was a life they took , a mother a grandmother and a sister n daughter. And they knew it was killing ppl but still marketed it. bs! we just got a settlement amount and i will b finding out how much of it i get. If i feel its not good i will b filing a wrongful death suit on my own. good luck eryone and believe me wen i say i feel ur pain and i am so so sorry for all of u! Sue March 20, 2012 I have had a suit going on for 2 years now still no settlement. Now they call me (the laywers out of Florida) saying it was rejected because of invalid proof I had taken Avandia. I took that S**t since 2000. I lamblasted them and then they had the nerve to say “Oh we did not check with the pharmacies you used”. So it will now take another 2 years no doubt. I thank God I did not have a serious injury from this med for my familys sake as I am the main bread winner but the heart has been damaged. No we will never see the justice they deserve. Just hope they do burn in hell for all the harm on the innocent. Nancy March 18, 2012 My husband died in 2007 due to this Advandia drug he sufered alot was put on a venilator to breath had liver problem’s from it also. Nothing can bring him back .What is wrong with these drug companies that they can just put anything out there with out any warning Joe March 16, 2012 Here is the question? Are there any of you out there who has been robbed? I mean by the lawers .. My Dad was a hard working man… did all his life until this drug took that away from him… Now the lawers have taken all of the so called settlement money but 275 dollars…. This was a group settlement… So… they say expess took all the money… Just wondering how many more were out there… Besides… how can you put a price on some one’s life? GOT SCREWED BY THE LAWERS AND THE FEDERAL GOVERMENT … timothy March 8, 2012 so sorry for all those who lost loved ones god was gracios towards me but my family lost sicolocilly sufford termendasly but know i suffer termendesly i know have a aicd divice which is a pace maker/difibulator,work union consrtuction as a insulator yaaa good luck needed 9 more years for early retirement,yaa guess thats ok as along GSK DOES’T SSSUUUFFFEEERRR?. Elaine March 2, 2012 My mother was 79 when she died March 25, 2008. We later learned the result of all her health problems were the exact symptoms that came from taking Avandia. Her doctor told her she has “borderline” diabetes, and he prescribed Avandia to her. In January, 2008 she suffered a major heart attack and our lives changed forever. Mom lived for 3 more months, she was not ready to die and she fought to the end. We are now in a class action lawsuit, it will never take the place of our mother but her death will not be in vain. I hate that doctor but it’s too late to go after him in a lawsuit. I think statute of limitations is 3 years. He should suffer as we have in losing our mother. joe February 15, 2012 Only your lawyer can answer that. You say Heart attack in 2007. stop taken 2005. Two years later, I would think not, but I am not a lawyer. Call a malpractice lawyer to get your answer. Dav February 14, 2012 I had a heart attack in 2007 And i took avandia in 2004 2005 do i qualify for a avandia settlement Daisy January 29, 2012 Spoke to my lawyer 2 days ago and was told that Medicare has a “lien” on the Advandia settlements and they will get part of it. The lawyers will get 33% plus “expenses”. I was told that there are negotiators for Medicare and they will get a percentage of the settlement as well. They will get 10-50% of any medical bill occurring from any advandia related illnesses they have paid. The lawyer stated that the negotiators will work with Medicare to come to a compromise on the amount. I was also told that this should all be finished sometime April-May and checks should be made out and sent by then. I don’t know what to believe and by the time the lawyers and medicare gets done I might be able to go out for a fast food dinner. What a celebration after having a massive heart attack, three surgeries and losing my home. frank January 28, 2012 yes they told me they would be sending me a letter in DEC but nothing have came yet i tried to call them they said i will have some one call u back they all out to lunch WELL i guess there still out eaten i was taken this drug Avandia FOR ABOUT 5YRS NOW MY HEART FLUTTER AT TYMES I HAVE CHEST PAINS AND NOW THEY GOT ME ON A HEART PILL BUT THE DOC SAYS ITS A MED FOR diabetes. I HOPE ALL IS WELL TO EVERY BODY WHO TOOK THIS CRAP GOD BE WITH US AND TO THE ONES WHO GAVE IT OUT I HOPE YOU GOT PAID GOOD TO HURT PEOPLE . Tisa January 3, 2012 My father passed away Oct.3rd 2011 after being diagnosed with CHF …he had been taking avandia for years for his diabetes and all a sudden two years ago he entered the hospital very sick with fluid build up around his heart ….that’s when we found out about his congestive heart failure ….he wasn’t with any heart problems prior …his health failed him rapidly …now he is gone but my father filed a lawsuit before he had passed because he believed avandia is what caused his heart problems. My mother is now waiting as well to be paid from the lawsuite… no amount of money can bring back my father ..but at lease it will help my mom who has now Lost her best friend and sole supporter ….and is now living with my sister get thru some finacial hardships. tammy December 9, 2011 I was told that I,m approved for the settlement but I won’t get a settlement letter until next year.

He had 90% blockage in one arttery, 75% in another and 50% in the other. He was taking Avandia, we at that time had no idea that the drug caused this artery disease. Now my mom has passed away (who was his next of kin) and I do not know where to go from here. My two sons and myself are suffering from the loss of my brother and my mother. My mother had alot of health issues but I think the broken heart from losing her baby boy is what caused her to give up. Is there a statue of limitations on this? What is it going to take to get this drug off the market and seriously who is lining the pockets of the FDA? How many people are going to have to die before this drug is taken off the market? Shannon November 1, 2011 My dad past away 2 years ago from congestive heart failure . He had started the law suit with avandia in 2006, supposively it has settled but, its like they keep giving my mom the run around excuse after excuse is this a real class action suit ? He had only taken avandia for a short time then his breathing problems started and then heart problems , How can they get away with this ? Lorraine October 25, 2011 My son and I were both placed on Avandia for Type 2 Diabetes. He was placed on it first. On June 13th of 2006, he suddenly started to having severe breathing problems. Before then, we had noticed that he was constantly gaining weight despite the fact that we had him on a strict diet. By the way, he had Down’s Syndrome and was thirty years old. The last time he had been ill was when he was fourteen years old, so besides the diabetes, he was quite healthy. Anyway, we took him to the doctor on the thirteenth of June and were told that he had already lost the function of one lung. We immediately took him to the hospital, and they started working on him right away. While still in the hospital on June 21st, one week later, our son passed away on our anniversary. We were in shocked. We had no answers and were ignorant to the effects of Avandia. Then, in March of 2007, I suffered a heart attack, and my husband and I started paying attention th the notices that were showing on tv., and decided that there had to be some sort of correlation to my son dying in June and my having a heart attack the following March. We checked on lawyers, but no one really wanted to take the case at first. Finally, someone took my case but not my son. My husband and I used to sickly Joke that he fed our son death in the morning (when he gave our son his medication), and I fed him death at night (when I gave him his medicine). What is so terribly sad is that no one seems to want to take his case. I assume that it was because he was Down’s, but he was extremely healthy. Anyway they killed my child just as sure as they caused my heart attack and my quadruple bypass. I just want to know if he is considered less than a person? That medicine killed my son, but there is no justic for him, So, there is no way that I am just going to settle for just anything from a bunch of murderers.
