Actos

Let a San Antonio Actos lawyer stand up to the insurance companies for you

Many people living with type II diabetes have taken the drug Actos (pioglitazone hydrochloride), which is a member of the thiazolidinedione class of drugs. Unfortunately, the drug has been linked to serious conditions in some people, including:

• Congestive heart failure (CHF)
• Rare but serious liver problems
• Fractures
• Bladder cancer

In 2007, the Food and Drug Administration demanded increased warnings about Actos due to the link to congestive heart failure.

Avandia is another drug in the same class as Actos to be linked recently to serious side effects. Because Avandia users experienced an increased risk of heart attack, Avandia use was restricted in the United States.

Bladder cancer seen as risk among Actos users

Bladder cancer is a serious risk linked to those who use Actos, particularly for those who use the drug for more than one year. Already, France and Germany have ended sales of Actos, which is manufactured by Takeda Pharmaceuticals.
