New Actos Bladder Cancer Lawsuit Says Takeda Concealed This Side Effect
By John Curran
In recent weeks, a new Actos bladder cancer side effect lawsuit has come, this time from a woman in California. She argues that Takeda Pharmaceutical was aware of the risks of the Type 2 diabetes medication and was willing to market it anyway because of the size of the market. Her Actos side effect lawsuit lawyer is also arguing that there was negligence and breach of warranties.
The following timeline offers some hints that Takeda was aware of Actos bladder cancer risks, depending on how you view the dates:
1999 – Studies show Actos bladder cancer side effects are possible, FDA later grants approval.
2005 – Study for Actos congestive heart failure finds further evidence of bladder cancer side effects.
2010 – FDA decides to look into Takeda’s product, and review data from a long-term study into Actos side effects.
2011 – FDA issues warning that Actos bladder cancer side effects are higher after one year of usage.
2011 – The United Kingdom and Germany both ban the sale of the product due to Actos congestive heart failure side effects and other conditions.
2012 – FDA issues no new warning, fast-tracks approval of Actos generic based on the original being approved. This occurs as the agency is reviewing data showing Actos bladder cancer side effects.
The fact that the United Kingdom, Germany and France look askance at the drug are particularly interesting. For one, the United Kingdom and France have nationalized health care systems, so a generic would have been a help. Actos bladder cancer side effects have been reported for more than a decade, so the difference in response by Western countries is striking.
In addition to Actos bladder cancer side effects, patients should also worry about Actos liver damage and vision problems depending on the patient.
