Actos is prescribed for the treatment of Type II Diabetes
Actos, the brand name for pioglitazone, is oral medication manufactured by Takeda Pharmaceuticals North America, Inc. It is prescribed for the treatment of Type II Diabetes and has been found to have several potentially dangerous side effects which have launched safety reviews and studies world-wide. Takeda Pharmaceuticals, itself, has released interim data from an ongoing 10-year study which clearly shows that patients who have taken Actos for at least 12 months have a 40% increased risk of getting bladder cancer. Additionally, the longer a patient remained on Actos and the larger the dose, there was a higher increased risk for bladder cancer. Here are some of the signs and symptoms for bladder cancer that patients taking Actos may experience are:
• Blood in the urine
• Pain during urination
• Frequent urination
• Feeling the need to urinate without results
Other countries have pulled Actos off the market
Although several other countries have pulled Actos off the market and ordered doctors to stop prescribing it, the drug is still available in the U.S. with a new cancer warning.

Actos and Bladder Cancer
If you or a loved one were prescribed the prescription drug Actos for Diabetes and have recently been diagnosed with bladder cancer, then please call the attorneys at The Bell Law Firm for a FREE consultation today. Recent studies have linked the cancer to Actos our lawyers are currently taking cases of people whom have been diagnosed with Bladder Cancer and we are here to help you through these times. Takeda Pharmaceuticals has marketed this product without thoroughly investigating its side effects and consequences of the consumers. Companies like Takeda will generally work around the FDA in order to turn a quick profit, leaving you or a loved one with very high hospital bills and the possibility of becoming terminally ill.
Type II Diabetes is a medical condition that disallows the pancreas from providing sufficient amounts of insulin for the body.
Actos, Takeda's brand name for the drug pioglitazone, is an anti-diabetic medication taken orally. It is prescribed to treat Type II Diabetes; however, over the past few months, potential dangerous side effects have caused recalls, medical reviews, and world-wide alarm. Takeda Pharmaceuticals itself has even reluctantly released information from a 10-year self study conducted, this study has shown that patients who have been prescribed Actos for a year, actually have a 40% increased risk of being diagnosed with bladder cancer. Patients remaining on the drug for over a year, and have a higher dosage the risk greatly increases. Once again, if you or a loved one have been diagnosed with Bladder Cancer please call one of our Actos Lawyers @ 1-866-912-3007 or 304-932-4225 we may be able to help.
Signs and symptoms of the bladder-cancer-inducing drug, Actos, include bloody, painful, and frequent urination. There is also the feeling of a need to urinate without results, along with frequent back and abdominal pain.
On June 15, 2011, the FDA made a public announcement that the use of the Diabetes medication Actos for over 12 months may be linked to an increased risk of bladder cancer. The use of Actos has been suspended in Europe by France and Germany because of this. Please do not hesitate to call our attorneys for a free consultation. You don't have to go against a multi-billion dollar industry alone.
Our attorneys have the experience, resources and track record to take on Takeda Pharmaceuticals and the fact they have failed to warn the public about the risk of bladder cancer from Actos. We also feel that Takeda has failed to warn people like you about these potential problems. Compensation may be for you or your loved one through an Actos lawsuit for individuals diagnosed with a cancerous bladder tumor, and The Bell Law Firm is here to help you. Please call today for a free preliminary consultation at 1-866-912-3007 or 304-932-4225 we may be able to help, or send us an email with a brief description, and let us help you get the money you or your love one deserve.
