Actos Killed a Woman’s Husband Alleges Bladder Cancer Lawsuit
By Scott Hardy
A widow filed a lawsuit against Takeda Pharmaceuticals and Eli Lilly alleging that they were aware of the risk of bladder cancer for patients who take Actos to treat their diabetes but didn’t warn them of the side effect. Linda Ruff states in her Actos bladder cancer lawsuit that her husband Evan Ruff had been taking Actos for years before he was diagnosed with bladder cancer. Evan died due to bladder cancer just eight months after being diagnosed with cancer.Linda’s Actos lawsuit alleges that Takeda Pharmaceuticals and Eli Lilly knew that prolonged use of Actos may lead to bladder cancer but didn’t do enough to warn consumers of Actos that the drug have side effects which can kill them.
Multiple studies have shown that those who take Actos for more than one year are 40% more likely to develop bladder cancer and tumors. It’s important that users of Actos know the signs of bladder cancer so they can speak with their doctor, and an Actos attorney, if they experience any bladder cancer symptoms. Symptoms of bladder cancer include tumors which may cause blood in the urine, painful or frequent urination, or straining during urination. In addition, other common signs of bladder cancer include fatigue, incontinence, weight loss and bone pain or tenderness. If you are experiencing these symptoms you should see a doctor immediately so bladder cancer or tumors can be ruled out or treatment started if necessary.
Sadly, in Evan’s case, bladder cancer treatment was unsuccessful and he died from the cancer after going through months of treatment including multiple surgeries and hospitalizations. If you are experiencing symptoms of bladder cancer and are diagnosed with the disease or tumors you should speak with an Actos attorney to see if you are a good fit to file an Actos class action lawsuit or an Actos personal injury lawsuit. Patients filing Actos bladder cancer class action lawsuits and personal injury lawsuit allege that they should have been warned of the life threatening side effects of Actos. As you just read, bladder cancer due to Actos can lead to death it’s up to the families to file Actos lawsuits against Takeda Pharmaceuticals. In addition, the spouse or surviving family members of a patient who took Actos may be able to file a lawsuit, even if the spouse hasn’t passed away
