Actos and Bladder Cancer
The FDA issued a safety warning on June 15, 2011, warning that there may be an increased risk of bladder cancer linked to medications containing pioglitazone (branded "Actos" in the U.S. by Takeda Pharmaceuticals). Elsewhere, both France and Germany suspended the use and sale of Actos after an official French study also a connection between Actos & bladder cancer.
Although pharmaceutical manufacturers must warn doctors and patients about potential negative side effects, many allege that the risks of using Actos were not adequately disclosed.
