(EMAILWIRE.COM, March 02, 2012 ) New York, NY – Actos lawsuits filed against drug maker Takeda Pharmaceutical Co. claim that the diabetes drug causes bladder cancer. These Actos lawsuits further allege that the company knew about the bladder cancer risk and failed to provide adequate warnings to patients and the medical community. Because pharmaceutical companies have an obligation to provide proper warnings with their medications, patients who were diagnosed with bladder cancer after taking Actos may have legal recourse in light of these allegations. To find out if you can seek compensation for medical expenses and other damages through an Actos lawsuit, visit http://www.classaction.org/actos.html for a free case review.
According to reports, patients started contacting lawyers about the potential for Actos lawsuits shortly after the FDA released a safety announcement regarding Actos and bladder cancer. In June 2011, the agency announced that use of Actos (pioglitazone) for more than a year may be linked to an increased risk of bladder cancer.
Pioglitazone is sold as a single-ingredient product under the branded drug name Actos and is also sold in combination with metformin (Actoplus Met, Actoplus Met XR) and glimepiride (Duetact). According to the Actos bladder cancer announcement, results from a long-term, ongoing study revealed that patients with the longest exposure to pioglitazone and those exposed to the highest cumulative dose had an increased risk of developing bladder cancer.
The FDA announced that due to the potential Actos bladder cancer risk, the drug should not be prescribed in patients with active bladder cancer and used with caution in those with a history of the illness. If you or a loved one has contracted bladder cancer after taking diabetes drug Actos, Actoplus Met, Actoplus Met XR or Duetact, you may be able to file an Actos lawsuit to seek compensation for medical bills, pain and suffering and other damages.
