Williams Kherkher - Pharmaceutical Lawyers Monitoring Health Problems

Our pharmaceutical lawyers at Williams Kherkher not only fight for your rights if you've been injured as a result of using a drug, but we also pay attention to the health problems that could result from their use. In regards to Avandia, our pharmaceutical lawyers have been paying close attention to one specific, and the most serious, potential side effect associated with Avandia. Below is a look at that condition and its consequences.

PPH Linked to the Use of Avandia

PPH is a health condition that stands for Primary Pulmonary Hypertension, and it's a condition that is gravely serious. Our pharmaceutical lawyers have learned much about PPH because recent studies, reports and statistics have potentially linked the onset of PPH to the use of Avandia. Other side effects have also been reported, but PPH is by far the most serious.

PPH is caused in a patient when blood vessels narrow, causing a rise in blood pressure. High blood pressure, especially in those with type 2 diabetes who have used Avandia, can be extremely dangerous. The symptoms of PPH include:

• Shortness of breath
• Dizziness
• Fainting/Loss of Consciousness
• Heart Failure
• Death

Unfortunately, there is no known cure for PPH at this time. It is a condition that can be managed, but managing it requires a life-long commitment and extreme attention to several biological details.

That's why you need to contact the pharmaceutical lawyers at Williams Kherkher if you've used Avandia in the past and you're experiencing any of the potential side effects. Our initial consultations are free, and we will help you understand your rights as they apply to your situation. Contact the firm today.
