Helping Actos Bladder Cancer Victims Nationwide
Concern over possible side effects from Actos, technically named pioglitazone, including bladder cancer, has been the basis for lawsuits against the drug manufacturer Takeda Pharmaceuticals. Gomez Trial Attorneys is an award winning San Diego, CA, law firm that has expertise in helping clients nationwide that have endured personal injury, including physical damage or death from prescription drugs like Actos.
WHAT IS ACTOS?
Actos was originally developed as a solution for adult persons with type 2 diabetes or blood sugar control problems. Along with other medications, Actos works with diet and exercise to achieve positive results. Problems with Actos were noticed after patients had taken the drug for a period of 12 months or more; some patients had no problems while others developed cancerous tumors of the bladder.
LAWSUITS AGAINST TAKEDA PHARMACEUTICALS
It is alleged that the pharmaceutical company Takeda Pharmaceuticals knew about possible dangers of Actos as far back as 2005, but failed to adequately warn the public. The FDA has investigated the damage claims attributed to this drug and found a relationship between the length of time and dosage taken and development of bladder cancer.
WARNINGS ABOUT ACTOS
The FDA released what amounts to a warning for persons taking Actos that this drug may cause bladder cancer. There are a number of lawsuits in progress now; persons that have developed bladder cancer, testicular cancer due to taking Actos may be able to join a lawsuit. The skilled trial attorneys at Gomez Trial Attorneys offer a free consultation to persons that feel they may be eligible to seek damages for personal injury and expenses related to taking Actos.
ACTOS SIDE EFFECTS
In addition to potentially fatal bladder cancer, Actos can cause serious side effects that can be life changing. Side effects noted to date include:
- Weight gain
- Fluid retention or edema
- Muscle pain
- Sinus infection
- Sore throat
- Urinary tract infection
- Limb pain
- Headache
- Diarrhea or nausea
The drug can be dangerous in combination with other medications, vitamins or supplements.
