Actos (pioglitazone) is an important drug for some Type 2 diabetes patients, however, for others it’s a source of pain, discomfort, and even sorrow. Although frequently prescribed to treat diabetes, in many cases Actos has harmed rather than helped, elevating the probability of bladder cancer by as much as 40 percent for longer term patients.
The bladder cancer side effect of Actos is so severe, in fact, that the French Agency for the Safety of Health Products and Germany’s Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices effectively prohibited its prescription. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has stop short of those steps, however, the FDA has issued stark warnings.
