KNOWN SIDE EFFECTS
Studies have linked the oral diabetes drug Actos (pioglatizone) to a higher risk of bladder cancer. Other possible side effects include congestive heart failure, heart attack, and bone fracture.
WATCH FOR SIGNS OF BLADDER CANCER
- Blood or red color in urine
- Urgent need to urinate
- Pain while urinating
- Pain in lower back or abdomen
HIGHEST RISK WHEN TAKING
ACTOS FOR OVER A YEAR
Multiple studies have shown a connection between instances of bladder cancer and users who took Actos for more than one year or were exposed to the highest cumulative dose. In addition to the FDA safety warning, a study in France between 2006 and 2009 supports that there is a statistically significant correlation between exposure to Actos and the occurrence of bladder cancer. After the study was released, the use of Actos was suspended in France. German health regulators have also advised their doctors not to write any new patients Actos prescriptions.
These results are similar to those obtained in the United States by a Kaiser Permanente Northern California study. If you have relied on Actos to treat your type 2 diabetes, you do not have to accept bladder cancer as a terrible side effect. You can file a claim against Takeda Pharmaceuticals to receive the compensation you deserve.

WHY FILE A CLAIM?
The public should be able to rely on pharmaceutical companies to make safe, effective drugs.

By filing a claim, you can show the drug company that selling dangerous drugs is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. You deserve compensation for the costs associated with your drug-related injuries as well as for your pain and suffering.
