Diabetes Medicine Actos May Cause Bladder Cancer


The United States Food and Drug Administration has issued a warning about the prescription drug Pioglitazone, marketed in the US as Actos. Actos is one of the nation's leading medicines designed to treat Type Two Diabetes, but there are now fears that it may be linked to an increased risk of patients developing bladder cancer.

The Stephenville dangerous drug lawyers at the Anderson Law Firm are now consulting with individual Actos patients who believe they have suffered bladder cancer symptoms for a potential lawsuit against Actos' manufacturer, Takeda Pharmaceuticals.

Common symptoms of bladder cancer include: sharp pain in the lower abdomen or back; pain or burning while urinating; a frequent, urgent need to urinate; and blood in your urine. If you have experienced any of these symptoms and are concerned that you may be developing bladder cancer, you should seek expert medical advice from your doctor.

If you believe that you may have developed bladder cancer as a result of taking Actos, please call the Erath County Actos compensation attorneys at the Anderson Law Firm toll free at 800-354-6275 or contact us online and we will call you back as soon as possible. Our principal office is located in Fort Worth, Texas and you may call us there at 817-294-1900.

Pioglitazone is known by other names outside of the US. It is called Zactos in Mexico, and Glustin in parts of Europe. In India, it is sold under two different names: Glizone and Pioz.
