Avastin

Avastin lawyers can put experience and resources to work for you

Avastin (Bevacizumab) is used to treat cancer, but recent studies have found serious side effects linked to use of the drug. Avastin was designed to stop tumor growth. However, research finds the risks outweigh the benefits of Avastin.

Avastin actually may increase the risk of death in some patients, particularly in breast cancer patients. Avastin side effects include:

• Severe high blood pressure
• Bleeding and hemorrhage
• Development of perforations in the nose, stomach and intestines
• Heart attack

If you or a loved one experienced any of these side effects, please contact an Avastin lawyer at Hansen Dirani & Associates. We can discuss your legal options, which may include filing an Avastin lawsuit. Call 877-583-0700 today. A delay may affect your legal rights.

According to a New England Journal of Medicine study, 2.5 percent of Bevacizumab users died from bleeding or hemorrhaging linked to the drug.

Potentially deadly Avastin side effects

Studies compared Avastin patients with people who underwent chemotherapy without Avastin. Those taking Avastin were more likely to experience fatal side effects.

Dangerous side effects linked to Avastin include:

• Changes in vision or nervous system disturbances
• Kidney dysfunction
