Millions of Americans are living with – and fighting against – Type 2 diabetes. While some medications help consumers control symptoms and curb medical issues, pioglitazone-based treatments such as Actos, Actoplus Met, and Duetact may do more harm than good when consumed past a certain point.
Recent medical research has found that beyond 12 months, pioglitazone patients face a markedly increased probability of developing bladder cancer as a result of their Actos treatment. Some researchers estimate the increased risk to be as high as 40 percent.
In response to this medical phenomenon, thousands of patients have taken legal action, filing a medical product liability suit against the maker of this powerful and potentially harmful medication. In fact, claimants may reach as high as 10,000 litigants, according to some experts in this field.
