Actos, or its generic form pioglitazone, is a popular medication that is prescribed to Type 2 diabetes patients. The drug is designed to help control blood sugar by increasing the body’s sensitivity to insulin. Actos is made by Takeda Pharmaceutical Company. Unfortunately, numerous patients have complained about Actos side effects.

Several studies have linked Actos use to bladder cancer. A recent study done in France showed that diabetes patients that took pioglitazone had an increased risk for bladder cancer. After the study, France has suspended the use of pioglitazone. In 2011, The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a warning that there was an increased risk of bladder cancer for those that took Actos. The FDA released this warning after reviewing the data at the interim of a 10-year-long study of Actos bladder cancer research.  All Actos labels now include a Black Box warning to alert patients that taking the drug for more than one year may increase the risk of developing bladder cancer.

Patients that have been diagnosed with bladder cancer after taking Actos may be eligible to file an Actos bladder cancer lawsuit. The attorneys at Gordon and Doner are available to assist individuals with their Actos bladder cancer claims. To learn more about Actos lawsuits, visit www.fortheinjured.com.
