Actos FDA Warnings

On June 15, 2011, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) released a warning stating that pioglitazone, a drug designed to treat Type 2 diabetes, could cause an increased risk of bladder cancer if used for more than one year. Because of this risk, the FDA requires drug manufacturers to add warning labels (FDA warnings) to all drugs containing pioglitazone, including Actos, ActoplusMet, and Duetact.

List of Actos Precautions

The FDA published a list of precautions for Actos use, including:

  • Bladder Cancer Risk
    The FDA warns doctors not to prescribe Actos to patients with active bladder cancer or a history of bladder cancer. Patients with these conditions who take Actos may have their conditions worsen, or their cancers may return.
  • Congestive Heart Failure
    Actos use has been linked to congestive heart failure in some patients. As a result, the FDA requires the manufacturers of Actos and other drugs containing pioglitazone to add stronger warnings for risks of heart failure on the labels of their medications.

These conditions require expensive medical treatments to alleviate symptoms. Ferrer Poirot Feller Daniel wants to protect your rights to the compensation you deserve if you’ve been injured by Actos.
