Actos User Survives Bladder Cancer, Files Lawsuit
By Scott Hardy
The latest in the tidal wave of Actos lawsuits has been filed against Takeda Pharmaceuticals. Pearl Green started taking Actos to help treat her type II diabetes. After taking the drug she started showing signs of bladder cancer and was diagnosed with the life threatening disease shortly thereafter. Takeda Pharmaceuticals has been hit with many Actos bladder cancer lawsuits which typically allege that the massive drug manufacturer didn’t adequately warn patients and doctors of the risk of bladder cancer if they take Actos for more than one year. Pearl filed her lawsuit in Lousiana and is seeking more than $75,000 in damages. After filing her Actos bladder cancer lawsuit Pearl’s case was transferred to the newly form Actos multidistrict litigation case (MDL.)
Pearl alleges in her Actos lawsuit that the side effects she experienced because of Actos are permanent and life threatening. Pearl also states that she may require long term, and continuous, medical treatment in the future in order to treat bladder cancer and other problems she developed allegedly because of Actos.
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. If you are experiencing these symptoms and are diagnosed with bladder cancer 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 or cardiovascular problem lawsuits allege that they should have been warned of the life threatening side effects of Actos. Bladder cancer due to Actos can lead to death and surviving family members are filing wrongful death lawsuits against Takeda Pharmaceuticals. In addition, in cases where the patient taking Actos develops bladder cancer or tumors survives, the spouse or other family members may be able to file a lawsuit, even though the spouse thankfully didn’t die due to their injuries from Actos.
Pearl states in her Actos bladder cancer lawsuit that she was unaware of the risk of bladder cancer as a side effect of prolonged use of Actos. Pearl also alleges that Takeda Pharmaceuticals should have warned her, her doctors and other Actos users of the potential risks of taking Actos.
