Seroquel can cause diabetes

The use of the antipsychotic medication Seroquel has been linked to an increased risk of diabetes, pancreatitis and death. Thousands of lawsuits have been filed throughout the United States by individuals who have suffered injuries from using Seroquel.

Recently, it was discovered that AstraZeneca, the drug maker,“buried” unfavorable studies on Seroquel, according to an internal e-mail unsealed as part of litigation over the medicine. The drugmaker failed to publicize results of at least three clinical trials of Seroquel and engaged in “cherry picking” of data from one of those studies for use in a presentation.

If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with diabetes after being on Seroquel you should contact an attorney to learn more about your rights.
