Connecticut Actos Lawyers Helping Those with Bladder Cancer Claims

The Connecticut Actos lawyers at Jonathan Perkins Injury Lawyers are here to help those who have suffered from prescription drug side-effects due to use of the popular diabetes medicine.  Actos has been linked to dangerous side effects including increased femur fractures, congestive heart failure and bladder cancer.  People who took the type 2 diabetes drug Actos and were later diagnosed with bladder cancer may have a defective drug case.  If you have taken Actos for over one year and have developed bladder tumors, contact the Actos lawyers at Jonathan Perkins Injury Lawyers Today.  To find out if you have a case, visit http://www.800perkins.com/actos-lawyers.html for a free consultation and help with your Actos injury claim.  

In 2011, the FDA released a safety alert linking pioglitazone, the pharmaceutical name for Actos, to an increased risk of bladder cancer.  This was based on a five-year study that determined that an increased risk of bladder cancer was noted among patients with the longest exposure to Actos.  Furthermore, a recent study in health-characteristics in France has determined that the risk of developing bladder cancer is increased with Actos-use.  In response to the correlation between Actos and bladder cancer, the FDA has warned that anyone who has previously been diagnosed or have family history of bladder cancer should not take Actos.

Patients suffering from bladder cancer after taking Actos for Type-2 Diabetes may have a dangerous drug lawsuit.  A mass tort lawsuit can be enacted if the Actos manufacturer, Takeda Pharmaceutical Company, failed to properly warn doctors and patients about the inherit risk of bladder cancer.  If you are a loved one has suffered from bladder cancer from the use of Actos, contact our Actos lawyers for a free consultation. The attorneys at Jonathan Perkins Injury Lawyers will help you with your medical claim and advise you on your next course of legal action.
