FDA Warns Diabetes Drug Actos Linked to Bladder Cancer Risk
Injuries from serious Actos side effects has led to some individuals filing an Actos lawsuit. This diabetes medication has been linked to heart and liver damage, along with an increased risk of bladder cancer. A Louisville Actos claim lawyer will take the time to evaluate your case and determine if you should proceed with filing a claim.
Last month the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a safety announcement concerning the use of Actos. They found that those who use this medication for longer than a year are at an increased risk of developing bladder cancer.
The Warnings and Precautions portion of the drug's label will be revised to include this updated safety information. Additionally, the medication guide will also be revised.
This comes as a result of updated information that has shown that not only is a long exposure to taking Actos a risk, but so is taking the highest cumulative dose. Actos side effects could potentially be life-threatening.
Kentucky consumers should be alerted to the risk of bladder cancer when taking Actos. If you have decided to proceed with filing an Actos lawsuit, your next step should be to seek counsel from a Louisville Actos claim lawyer.
