AstraZeneca May Have Concealed Seroquel Side Effects From Doctors

AstraZeneca is the manufacturer of the drug Seroquel, which is prescribed for a myriad of medical conditions, including: autism, bipolar, ADD, and depression.  Seroquel was approved by the FDA in 1997 and as early as 2002 warnings came out from the manufacturer that the drug had dangerous side effects and for doctors NOT to prescribe the drug to diabetes patients.  Seroquel brought in profits of $4.5 billion for AstraZeneca in 2008 alone.

Reports have now surfaced that as recent as 2006, AstraZeneca sales representatives were telling doctors that Seroquel did NOT cause diabetes, despite the fact that the company had sent correspondence to Japanese physicians in 2002 warning of that very issue.  The link between diabetes and Serquel has become relatively clear, and to this day over 15,000 takers of Seroquel have joined to file Seroquel drug defect claims against AstraZeneca.  Currently the case is consolidated for trial in Orlando Florida.

If you took Seroquel and developed serious side effects, up to and including diabetes, contact Drug Recall Injury Lawyer toll-free at (866) 840-3636 for a free consultation.  Prescription drug manufacturers have a strict duty to design and produce drugs that are safe to those whole use them for their intended purpose.  Don't be victimized twice.
