Actos Lawyer A.J. De Bartolomeo
Ms. De Bartolomeo, a partner at Girard Gibbs LLP, speaks with men and women every day who have suffered serious injuries after taking defective drugs. "Prescription drug manufacturers are required to issue warnings about the possible risks of negative side effects from their products. When a manufacturer decides not to provide full disclosure of the potential risks from a medication, doctors and patients cannot make informed decisions about what drug is right for them, and as a result, people suffer injuries unnecessarily."
People throughout the country have suffered from bladder cancer after taking Actos to help manage type 2 diabetes. Now the FDA has issued a safety warning following the conclusion of studies that linked long term use of Actos to an increased risk of bladder cancer.

J. De Bartolomeo today.
