ACTOS Lawyers Fighting for Patients’ Rights, Wellbeing

Believe it or not, a drug can be approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and still have undisclosed side effects.

A recent example is the popular diabetes drug ACTOS. In a one-two punch to millions of Type 2 diabetes patients:

• The FDA has announced that ACTOS may be associated with an increased risk of bladder cancer; and
• The American Diabetes Association presented a study linking ACTOS with an eye disease that can lead to blindness.

These findings are in addition to older safety concerns about the drug’s link to:

• Heart attacks;
• Strokes;
• Liver failure; and
• Other serious harm.
