Actos Bladder Cancer Lawsuit

Actos Lawsuit

The FDA has approved updated drug labels for Actos, the prescription medication used to treat Type 2 diabetes. The new description states that if a patient uses Actos for more than one year, it may cause bladder cancer.

Actos, manufactured by Takeda, has been under review by the Food and Drug Administration since September 2010. In June 2011, the FDA issued a warning for Actos; at the same time, drug regulators in France and Germany suspended the use of the drug.
