Actos Bladder Cancer Claims Being Reviewed by Attorneys

The Actos bladder cancer attorneys working with Class Action.org are reviewing claims from users of the diabetes medication who were diagnosed with cancerous tumors of the bladder. Potentially, these individuals may be able to file a claim seeking compensation for damages, including medical bills and lost wages, if the manufacturer failed to adequately warn patients of the potential Actos bladder cancer risk.

On June 15, 2011, the FDA released a safety announcement concerning Actos and bladder cancer. According to the agency, patients using the diabetes medication for longer than a year may have an increased risk of developing bladder cancer. The Actos bladder cancer safety communication was released after the agency reviewed data from an ongoing, long-term study, the five-year results of which showed no overall increased risk of bladder cancer with Actos (pioglitazone) use, but an increased risk in users with the longest exposure to the drug, as well as those taking the highest cumulative doses. In light of the Actos bladder cancer risk, the agency added new information to the Warning and Precautions sections for Actos and other medications containing pioglitazone. 

Consumers who took Actos and were diagnosed with bladder cancer may have legal recourse. Through an Actos lawsuit, bladder cancer patients may be able to seek compensation for medical bills, pain and suffering, lost wages and other damages stemming from their diagnosis.
