Hiring an Actos Compensation Lawyer


If you have taken or are taking the prescription drug Actos to treat your Type 2 Diabetes, you may be entitled to compensation. Cleburne personal injury and dangerous drug attorney Mark Anderson is currently accepting clients from Johnson County for potential lawsuits against the manufacturers of Actos following a warning issued by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in June that cautioned that users of Actos might be at increased risk of developing bladder cancer.

Actos is the brand name for the medicine Pioglitazone, which is also sold under the names Glustin, Glizone, Pioz and Zactos outside of the United States. It is manufactured by Takeda Pharmaceuticals and is designed to treat Type 2 Diabetes. However, the results of a study published in June 2011 found a link between diabetes patients prescribed Actos and patients developing bladder tumors. Specifically, the FDA warned that "Pioglitazone use for more than one year may be associated with an increased risk of bladder cancer."

Pioglitazone has since been withdrawn in France and doctors in Germany have been instructed to stop prescribing it, pending further studies. It remains on the market in the US, although the FAD has added precautions to the labels of all medicines containing Pioglitazone.

If you have experienced any bladder cancer symptoms since taking Actos, you may be entitled to seek compensation against Takeda Pharmaceuticals if it is determined that the company failed to adequately research the dangers of the drug and to properly warn consumers of their findings. Lawsuits have already been filed against Takeda Pharmaceuticals alleging that alternative treatments would have been sought had patients been made aware of the risks of developing bladder cancer from the drug.
