The attorneys at Briggle & Polan, PLLC have begun to file lawsuits on behalf of clients who have experienced complications associated with the drug Actos.

Austin, TX (prHWY.com) December 26, 2011 - Austin, TX, December 18, 2011: The attorneys at Briggle & Polan, PLLC have begun to file lawsuits on behalf of clients who have experienced complications associated with the drug Actos. There is a time limit to file lawsuits associated with this drug, so patients are encouraged to contact the law firm as soon as possible to prevent a missed chance to seek compensation for their pain and suffering.

Actos is a drug prescribed to type 2 diabetes patients who are unable to control their diabetes through diet and exercise alone. It lowers blood glucose levels and increases insulin sensitivity.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued a warning in June, 2011 of a connection between the use of Actos for a year or more and a 40 percent increased risk of developing bladder cancer. These findings were the product of a 10-year study exploring the connection between Actos and bladder cancer. Patients who had been taking Actos the longest were considered to be at the most risk for developing bladder cancer. These findings have resulted in the FDA adding a warning to Actos medications of the risk associated with taking this medication.

Public insurance data has also illustrated a correlation between the usage of Actos and an increase in bladder cancer among patients taking the drug. Additionally, there is a disproportionate risk for developing bladder cancer as a result of taking Actos in comparison to other medications intended for diabetes patients.

Other serious health risks associated with Actos include an increased risk of congestive heart failure, an increased risk of liver problems, an increased risk of bladder cancer, and an increased risk of fractures. Patients who have been prescribed the drug Actos and are experiencing any of these side effects are strongly advised to speak with their doctors about the risks involved with taking this medication.
