Pharmaceutical Litigation Settlement
In early June, drug manufacturer GlaxoSmithKline PLC settled some 5,000 lawsuits with patients over the diabetes drug Avandia. Sales of the drug began to fall after a 2007 study indicating risk of heart problems and stroke connected with Avandia, which was prescribed to diabetics to help control blood sugar levels. The first U.S. trial of an Avandia claim is scheduled for October. (Link: Massive Settlement Reached by Glaxo in Avandia Litigation)
