AVANDIA diabetes drug allegedly linked to stroke, and other life threatening side effects:

Avandia has been a popular drug for the treatment of Diabetes. Avandia works as an insulin sensitizer. GlaxoSmithKline has marketed the drug in the United States where sales peaked in 2006 until word of the adverse and potentially deadly side-effects surfaced. Reported side effects include bone fractures, eye damage, hepatoxicity, and even death from stroke and heart disease. Reports allege that GlaxoSmithKline knew about many of these dangers and failed to properly and appropriately warn the public.

If you or someone you know has taken Avandia and experienced any of the side effects including stroke or heart disease, reach out to Christensen Law. We are zealously advocating for those who have been injured by this drug.



ACCUTANE acne drug allegedly associated with Crohn’s Disease, Inflamatory Bowel Disease among others:

Accutane has been one of the most widely used acne medications in Southern Nevada since the early 1990’s. Unknown to most who took the drug were the real risks allegedly known by Accutane’s manufacturer LaRoche. Thousands have claimed to have been afflicted with Accutane’s side effects including such severe and debilitating diseases as Crohn’s Disease and Inflamatory Bowell Disease. In many cases, people have been unaware what has been causing their sickness as the diseases may take years to manifest themselves.

If you or someone you know took Accutane and is now suffering serious side effects or has been diagnosed with Crohn’s disease or Inflamatory Bowell Disease, Christensen Law is here to help bring your life back.
