If your spouse suffers from Type 2 diabetes, you’re probably aware of the fact that there are a variety of different approaches to treatment. What you may not know is that one type of treatment – namely, Actos (pioglitazone) – has risks you and your spouse may not fully appreciate.
According to recent warnings from the FDA, a recent study found that patients who take Actos face a notably higher likelihood of developing bladder cancer. In fact, for patients who take pioglitazone treatments for a relatively long period of time – one year or more – the probability of developing bladder cancer jumps to as high as 40 percent.
What should you do if your spouse develops bladder cancer as a result of his or her pioglitazone treatments?
