(LegalLaw247.com, December 09, 2011 ) New York, NY An Actos lawsuit may be an option for users of the diabetes drug who were diagnosed with bladder cancer. Potentially, an Actos lawsuit could provide these individuals with the chance to seek compensation for medical bills, pain and suffering and other losses stemming from their bladder cancer diagnosis. There is a time limit for filing Actos lawsuits, however, and failure to act within this window can prevent the patient from ever taking legal action for their disease. If you or a loved one was diagnosed with bladder cancer after taking Actos, find out if you can seek financial compensation by visiting http://www.classaction.org/actos.html for a no cost, no obligation case review.
In June 2011, the FDA released a statement regarding Actos and bladder cancer, announcing that patients who use the diabetes drug for longer than a year may have an increased risk of developing cancerous tumors of the bladder. The agency informed the public of the potential Actos bladder cancer risk after reviewing data from an ongoing, long-term study of the drug; this research revealed that while there was no overall increased risk of bladder cancer with Actos use, an increased risk was noted in patients exposed to the highest cumulative doses and those with the longest exposure. In light of the Actos bladder cancer link, the FDA announced that the Warnings and Precautions section of the diabetes drug and other pioglitazone-containing medications would be updated to reflect this risk.
If the manufacturer failed to properly warn patients about the potential Actos bladder cancer risk, users who were diagnosed with this disease may have legal recourse.
