The FDA’s Actos Warning: Why Consumers Should Be Concerned

Actos Lawsuit TexasIn June of 2011, the US Food and Drug Administration issued a warning about the Type 2 diabetes drug, Actos (pioglitazone) made by Takeda Pharmaceuticals. In its warning the FDA said that "use of the diabetes medication Actos (pioglitazone) for more than one year may be associated with an increased risk of bladder cancer." Information about the risk of bladder cancer was added to the warnings and precautions label for pioglitazone-containing medicines.

The FDA made its announcement after looking at the interim review of an on-going epidemiological study on Actos and its link to cancer. Although the five-year data shows that there is no overall increased risk in bladder cancer, patients who have prolonged exposure to Actos are at greater risk to develop bladder cancer.

Are You Experiencing Signs of Actos Bladder Cancer?


Especially if you have a family history of cancer, it's imperative that you are vigilant of any side affects you may have while taking Actos. If you have been taking Actos for a long period of time and are experiencing painful urination, or are seeing blood in your urine - talk to your doctor. These could be early signs of Actos bladder cancer.

If the diabetes drug Actos is responsible for causing your bladder cancer, you may be able to take legal action against its manufacturer for your injuries. The Texas injury attorneys at the Anderson Law Firm are reviewing Actos cases and lawsuits. If Actos hurt you more than it helped you, contact the Texas Actos attorneys today.
