Avandia Maker Sued Over Heart Attack
The widow and son of a Beaumont man are suing the maker of the popular diabetes drug Avandia, GlaxoSmithKline PLC, challenging it contributed to the man's death from a heart attack.
Larry Alan Stanford, 60, died in May, which was around the same time a scientific analysis was published in the New England Journal of Medicine saying that Avandia was linked to a greater risk of heart.
The deceased victim had taken Avandamet, a form of Avandia mixed with another diabetes drug, since early 2005.
