If you’ve taken Actos for more than one year, you may face certain health risks In 1999,

the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the use of Actos (pioglitazone

hydrochloride) to treat people with Type 2 diabetes to control their glycemic levels. Since

then, Actos, manufactured by Takeda Pharmaceutical Company, Limited, rose to become

the most popular oral drug prescribed to treat Type 2 diabetes. According to the FDA,

about 2.3 million people filled prescriptions for Actos at outpatient retail pharmacies from

January through October 2010, making it Takeda’s largest selling drug. However, in June

2011, the French Medicine Agency ordered that the sale of the drug in France be

suspended due to an increased risk of bladder cancer in patients taking the drug for

longer periods. Similarly, in June 2011, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration informed

the public that the use of Actos for more than one year may be associated with an

increased risk of bladder cancer. For those people taking the drug, these studies raise

serious questions about the safety of the drug. Take action with the help of an

experienced attorney. When your medical professional prescribes diabetes treatment

through medication, you expect that treatment to be effective and not harm you in other

ways. Actos usage may lead to damaging side effects that include bladder cancer and

other conditions. You can take action if you have received a diagnosis of bladder cancer or another side effect of Actos usage. Seek legal help from our defective drug attorneys
