New Avandia® Restrictions in the US | Peterson & Assoc., P.C. is Committed to Inform Patients at New Website

Kansas City, MO, September 27, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Peterson & Associates is committed to help heart damage victims of Avandia®. They have created a new website, www.avandiaheartdamage.com that provides all of the latest news and information about the new FDA restrictions on Avandia®.

According to the FDA's website, "These new restrictions are in response to data that suggest an elevated risk of cardiovascular events, such as heart attack and stroke, in patients treated with Avandia®."

Avandia®, once the world's most popular diabetes drug, is the focus of debate because of concerns that it increases the risk for heart damage, stroke, heart failure, and heart attacks.

Critics say that the keeping Avandia® on the market shows the FDA's failure to protect the public from dangerous drugs, according to The Washington Post.

For more information and latest breaking news about the potential dangerous side effects of Avandia®, visit http://www.avandiaheartdamage.com.

"The evidence we have to date does not support the use of Avandia® as a first, second or even third line drug for treating Type 2 diabetes," said John Santa of Consumer Reports. "This latest effort on the part of the FDA to deal with a drug that's unsafe will only confuse consumers."

"During the course of the FDA's review of the RECORD study, important questions arose about potential bias in the identification of cardiovascular events. The FDA is requiring this independent review to provide additional clarity about the findings," the FDA said.

According to The Washington Post, more evidence has accumulated about the drug's risks, as well as allegations that GlaxoSmithKline knew about the dangers but hid them from regulators and the public. The company has denied the charges and has defended the drug's safety.

If you or a loved one has had heart damage, a heart attack, stroke, congestive heart failure or other heart injuries from taking Avandia®, the diabetes drug, contact Peterson & Associates, P.C. immediately at 877-378-4442 or visit www.avandiaheartdamage.com. We are committed to protecting you.
