FDA Issues Warning For Actos (Pioglitazone)


If you believe you have developed bladder cancer symptoms since taking the diabetes drug Actos (Pioglitazone) you may be entitled to compensation. The Granbury dangerous drug lawyers at the Anderson Law Firm are currently reviewing potential lawsuits against the manufacturers of Actos, Takeda Pharmaceuticals, for patients throughout Hood County and Texas.

Actos (also known as Zactos, Glustin, Glizone and Pioz outside of the US) is a leading prescription drug designed to treat Type 2 Diabetes. However, a five year study into the drug has recently found an increased risk of bladder cancer among those patients who had been taking Actos the longest.

In June 2011, Pioglitazone was completely withdrawn in France, while doctors in Germany were advised to abstain from prescribing the drug until further research into the drug's hazards could be assessed.

The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a warning for Actos is June 2011 also. They cautioned that use of Pioglitazone for more than one year may be associated with an increased risk of bladder cancer. It is currently still on the market.

Diabetes patients who have taken Actos to treat their illness are encouraged to be vigilant for signs of developing bladder cancer, which typically can cause blood in the urine. Other symptoms include a chronic need to urinate without results and pain in the lower back and abdomen.

If you have taken Actos and believe you have subsequently developed symptoms of bladder cancer as a result, you are encouraged to contact the dangerous drug attorneys at the Anderson Law Firm for a no fee, no obligation consultation to discuss your personal situation for a potential lawsuit against Takeda Pharmaceuticals. You may be entitled to compensation.
