In addition to the resources provided on this website, we have expanded this Actos television ad to provided additional information on the potential Actos bladder cancer problems in the following YouTube video:
The product liability lawyers at Saiontz & Kirk, P.A. represent individuals throughout the United States who are pursing an Actos lawsuit after developing bladder cancer. Unfortunately, many users of Actos who have been diagnosed with bladder cancer remain unaware that their condition may have been caused by the diabetes medication and that they may be entitled to financial compensation as a result of Takeda’s failure to warn.
In June 2011, the FDA required that new warnings be added to the drug label about the risk of bladder cancer associated with long-term use of Actos. These warnings indicate that the medication may increase the risk of bladder cancer among individuals who have used the drug for longer than one year.
Takeda knew or should have known that Actos could increase the risk of bladder cancer. However, Actos has generated about $3 bilion a year in sales for the pharmaceutical company in recent years, and it appears that they may have decided to place their desire for profits before patient safety by failing to provide accurate and complete information to consumers or the medical community.
