The European Medicines Agency (EMA), the European Union agency responsible for evaluating medicinal products, recently advised that the maker of Actos, an important and popular diabetes medication, should clarify on-the-box warnings about the risks of Actos.
The EMA isn’t the only governmental agency concerned about the effects of Actos. The Food & Drug Administration (FDA) has also advised American patients and health care professionals as to the potentially hazardous effects of this drug. In particular, the FDA has warned that pioglitazone, an active ingredient in Actos, is linked to bladder cancer.
