Actos Bladder Cancer Lawsuits
Takeda Pharmaceuticals has already faced several Actos lawsuits related to bladder cancer since the FDA’s published studies. Since its inception in 1999, Actos has been the most prescribed type 2 diabetes drug in the world. In 2009 alone, the company had sales of $8 billion annually, and the vast majority of that is from Actos. Furthermore, it is estimated that nearly a fifth of all bladder cancer cases are directly related to the use of Actos and other drugs containing pioglitazone. According to a report by Bloomberg News, Takeda Pharmaceuticals may face as much as 10,000 lawsuits from people using Actos and affected with bladder cancer. These lawsuits are attributed to claims that Takeda knew about risks associated with Actos, but failed to warn patients about the risks associated with the drug. If you have taken the pharmaceutical drug Actos and have developed cancer, please contact an attorney immediately to protect your rights.Over $500 Million Recovered
