subject: Seek Legal Help If You Are An Actos Cancer Patient [print this page] Patients of Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 found a new medicine to take care of their problem and they started taking it. So much so that this medicine became one of the 10 top selling drugs in the USA in the year 2008. Pioglitazone, marketed as Actos in Canada, Germany, the UK and the USA, promised to do wonders to people suffering from Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 and more than 2 million people consumed this medicine in 2010 alone. Now the medicine has been withdrawn from the market amid reports that there is a strong connection between Actos and bladder cancer. Actos cancer patients have now been found all over the world.
The relationship between Actos and bladder cancer is so strong that France and Germany have both banned this medicine. Patients that have been using this medicine for a long time have the highest risk of suffering from bladder cancer. Now there are some Actos cancer patients that have started filing lawsuits against the manufacturer for failing to warn them against the high chance of occurrence of bladder cancer upon consuming the medicine.
What does bladder concern do to your body? First of all, there is a tumor that develops in your urinary tract. As a result of Actos cancer, you have an urgent need to urinate frequently and whenever you urinate, blood passes through your urine. You also suffer from pain whenever you urinate and there is this constant pain in your lower abdomen. The FDA has issued an Actos warning where people suffering from these symptoms should talk to their doctor before changing Actos as their medicine. If you change Actos before you talk to your doctor you may not be able to prove the relationship between Actos and bladder cancer and be entitled for legal compensation.
Recently a case was filed in the California District Court by a patient that developed an aggressive form of Actos cancer. The lawsuit alleges that Takeda Pharmaceuticals, the makers of Actos, failed to warn the patient about the dangers of bladder cancer upon the consumption of Actos. The lawsuit further alleges that if the patient had been aware of the dangers of association between Actos and bladder cancer, an alternative course of medication would have been pursued and the situation could have been salvaged.
