Actos Bladder Cancer Lawsuits
Actos (pioglitazone) is a pharmaceutical drug prescribed to Type II diabetics which has been found to increase a patient's risk of developing bladder cancer. Two different FDA Actos bladder cancer warnings have been issued, stating that taking the drug for one year increases the risk of bladder cancer. The drug has been recalled in other countries, but is still being prescribed to patients in the United States.
Early clinical testing revealed that Actos posed a heightened risk for blader cancer, yet the drug company did not add a warning concerning Actos bladder cancer. As one of the most prescribed diabetes drugs ever, Actos brought Takeda Pharmaceuticals millions in profits. Unaware of the risk, countless Americans developed bladder cancer while taking Actos.
In October of 2015, Takeda Pharmaceuticals offered a settlement of $2.4 billion to settle more than 9,000 pending Actos bladder cancer lawsuits. Persons who have been diagnosed with bladder cancer and have a history of taking Actos, and family members who have lost a loved one to Actos bladder cancer, are among the plaintiffs. These attorneys are still accepting new claims from persons and family members affected by bladder cancer from Actos. Filing an Actos bladder cancer lawsuit is your means to exercise your legal rights and recover damages for losses and harm resulting from the disease.
