Actos
Actos is a drug for people with Type 2 diabetes. People with this disease have trouble controlling the sugar levels in their blood, and the active ingredient in Actos is pioglitazone, which helps ameliorate this problem. When Avandia, another Type 2 diabetes drug, was found to have serious side effects, Actos began to be prescribed as much as Avandia.
Now studies as well as real cases are showing that there are also some serious Actos side effects. At first these were heart problems such as heart attack, heart disease, and heart failure. Now, the FDA has added another Actos side effect to the list: bladder cancer.
If you or a loved one took Actos and were injured by the drug, you can find out about an Actos lawsuit if you suffered some or any of these injuries:
