Actos Bladder Cancer Lawsuit Attorney

NEWS: 12/16/2011 Time is limited to file an Actos lawsuit!

Bloomberg News reported that Takeda may face up to 10,000 Actos lawsuits in the United States alone from patients who will seek damages for side effects that they may have suffered. Bloomberg quoted a warehouse worker who has been diagnosed with bladder cancer and is suing Actos: "If somebody had told me I could get cancer from Actos, I never would have taken it. There were other products out there that could have helped treat my diabetes without putting me through all of this."

One of Takeda's rivals, London-based GlaxoSmithKline, faced a similar problem several years ago when its top-selling diabetes drug Avandia was linked to heart attacks and the company was deluged with lawsuits filed by patients who had suffered those side effects. GlaxoSmithKline has admitted paying over $6 billion in legal expenses in response to the lawsuits and many of the cases against it have yet to be resolved.

In a 5 year study done by Actos maker Takeda Pharmaceuticals, found that taking Actos for a short period of time had no indications or problems with bladder cancer. 

But the problem with Actos is that if you take it for longer periods of time the chance of developing Actos bladder cancer increases dramatically.
Because of the risk for developing bladder cancer from taking Actos, our lawyers and attorneys are now accepting victims who may have been injured from this drug.

There may be a class action lawsuit on Actos with a possible cash settlement for people hurt from Actos bladder cancer lawsuits may begin.

What is Actos?

Actos, generic name: pioglitazone is a prescription medication used to help improve blood sugar, called glucose, control in adults with type 2 diabetes.  It is not used to treat type 1 diabetes.

ACTOS, ACTOplus met, ACTOplus met XR, and duetact are also being looked at and may also be under investigation for a possible link to bladder cancer.
Do not take Actos for longer than recommended. Taking this medication for longer than 1 year may increase your risk of developing bladder cancer. Talk with your doctor about your specific risk.
