- FDA Rips Study Favorable to Avandia
Avandia is a drug that’s manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline, one of the true giants of the pharmaceutical industry. It’s used to help patients fight type 2 diabetes, and for years it dominated the market in that regard. However, amidst a large number of reports of serious side effects, Avandia came under intense scrutiny both from the FDA and from Avandia side effects lawyers representing injured clients all over the United States. Tomorrow and Wednesday, a federal panel of experts will discuss whether or not Avandia should remain on the market. In the meantime, a study has been published that’s favorable to the drug, but the FDA has ripped this data prior to this discussion.
If you or someone you love has been injured by Avandia side effects contact a qualified Phoenix personal injury attorney near you for a free legal consultation.
RECORD – A Study of Avandia Side Effects
The study in question is known as RECORD, and it has been done in furtherance of the decision that’s to be made regarding Avandia’s place on the market. It was billed as the most extensive study done to date on the drug and its alleged link to Avandia side effects that include heart attacks, strokes and death. RECORD followed more than 4,000 patients in the study and compared Avandia with two older diabetes drugs, metformin and sulfonylurea. The conclusion was that Avandia posed no greater risk to those who used it than those who used the other drugs.
The FDA Pillories RECORD Study
In response to the publication of these findings, the FDA stated that there were several serious problems with its conclusions. At its core, the FDA’s position and response was that those who were handling the RECORD study repeatedly submitted sloppy data and failed to follow up on reports of Avandia side effects in patients who were taking part in the study. The FDA even stated that the very design of the study was not only inappropriate, but biased. These are very strong terms to be used by a governmental agency.

Jeffrey Phillips is truly a brilliant attorney and businessman. I would not hesitate for a moment to contact him if I needed a personal injury attorney in Arizona, you would be fortunate to have him and his team. If you have a car accident, slip and fall in a store, or get punched in the face, call Phillips.

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value As someone who is familiar with the inner workings of the auto insurance industry I can whole heartedly endorse Steven J. Jones and Phillips law group as someone I would want on my side should litigation take place. They handled my case professionally, honestly, and with satisfactory results which I would not have expected without enlisting their help.

Juan Roque has been integral with my legal needs. Communication has been easy. He conveys information I can easily understand without a lot of "Legal Fluff" jargon. I will certainly do business with Phillips Legal team again and refer them to my friends and family.

Phillips Law Group is a company that has taught me so many things. Here your work, your dedication, effort and discipline are valued, in addition to the fact that, as a woman, as an immigrant and as a human being, I have been given value and empowerment. We are a successful law firm because all workers feel part of a great family. I am very proud and honored to work at Phillips Law Group.

I’ve been working at Phillips Law Group for nearly four years and I can confidently say this is the best personal injury firm in Arizona to work for. The firm is the best for numerous reasons but to start, Phillips Law Group gives employees opportunities for promotions and growth. I started working within the settlement department, moved to a paralegal assistant and grew to be a pre-litigation paralegal with my own case load. Each attorney I have worked for is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and easy to talk to. Secondly, I love how Phillips Law shows appreciation for employees. They host Friday Zoom Huddles giving out PTO, goodie bags, special shout outs, bonuses and gift cards. They also host extravagant holiday parties and fun contests during the Holidays! Lastly, the firm cares about giving back to the community, which is a trait I value as well. It’s rewarding to see a fast paced firm taking time out of their busy day to pay it forward. I would highly recommend working at Phillips Law Group!
