Texans Who Have Taken Diabetes Drug Actos Are at Risk


In June 2011, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a warning that patients who had taken the Type 2 Diabetes medication Pioglitazone (sold as the brand drug Actos in the US) may be at an increased risk of developing bladder tumors. Despite the warning, however, Actos is still available in the United States. (France has banned it and Germany is no longer issuing prescriptions).

If you suffer from bladder cancer symptoms and have been prescribed Actos by your doctor, you may be entitled to compensation.

The Mineral Wells dangerous drug lawyers at the Anderson Law Firm are currently accepting clients for a potential lawsuit against the manufacturers of Actos, Takeda Pharmaceuticals, if it is determined that they failed to properly assess the hazards of taking their drug and subsequently neglected to inform consumers of the associated risks. While the FDA's warning specifically cited patients who had been taking Actos for a year or more, anyone who has used the medicine and subsequently developed symptoms of bladder cancer is encouraged to contact our attorneys for information regarding your legal rights.

The symptoms most commonly characteristic of bladder cancer include seeing blood in your urine; feeling an urgent need to urinate but then find yourself unable to do so; experiencing a painful sensation when you do urinate; and experiencing acute pain in your lower torso - both in you back and abdomen.

Anyone who taken Actos for any length of time - including those who have only taken doctor's samples - should be aware of these symptoms, although those individuals with a family history of cancer should be particularly vigilant. If you are concerned that you may be suffering symptoms of a developing bladder tumor, you are encouraged to seek professional medical advice.

If you believe you have suffered as a result of taking Actos, you should contact the Palo Pinto County personal injury and wrongful death attorneys at the Anderson Law Firm. We are currently reviewing individual cases for a potential lawsuit and you may be entitled to compensation.
