Actos Lawsuit May Be Viable for Users Diagnosed with Bladder Cancer

An Actos lawsuit may be viable for users of the diabetes drug who were diagnosed with bladder cancer. Potentially, an Actos lawsuit could provide these individuals the chance to seek compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering and other damages resulting from their diagnosis. Actos lawsuits must be filed within a certain amount of time, however, and failure to take legal action within this window will prevent the patient from ever seeking financial compensation for their condition. To find out if you can file an Actos lawsuit, visit  http://www.classaction.org/actos.html for a free, no obligation case review. 

A number of Actos lawsuits have already been filed on behalf of users who were diagnosed with bladder cancer in light of allegations that the manufacturer failed to warn consumers and doctors about this risk. In June 2011, the FDA announced in an Actos bladder cancer statement that use of the drug for longer than a year may be linked to an increased risk of developing cancerous tumors of the bladder. The agency advised the public of the potential Actos bladder cancer link after reviewing data from an ongoing, ten-year study of the drug. In light of this information, the FDA updated the diabetes drug’s label to reflect the Actos bladder cancer risk and to recommend that doctors should not use the drug in patients with active bladder cancer. 

Because the manufacturer of Actos allegedly failed to warn patients and doctors about this risk, legal recourse may be available to users of the drug who were diagnosed with bladder cancer.
