New Actos Wrongful Death Lawsuit Joins Other Cases
By John Curran
A woman has filed a claim with the help of an Actos wrongful death lawsuit attorney alleging that the drug, made by Takeda Pharmaceutical led to bladder cancer and the premature death of her husband. It joins many other cases filed in Illinois, where a judge is overseeing a consolidation of claims filed over Actos bladder cancer side effects.
As with other filings, the Actos side effects lawsuit lawyer notes that many previous studies indicated that there was an increased risk for patients to develop bladder cancer, with some dating back to 2005. Many cases cite this and the fact that Takeda Pharmaceutical did not properly warn patients and doctors of this risk as a legal deception. However, needing an Actos wrongful death lawsuit attorney is a fairly rare occurrence.
Most people who develop Actos bladder cancer side effects need a procedure to remove a portion of or all of the organ. However, as many nurses and doctors note, this is usually not an extensive procedure, and the recovery is relatively quick. However, the man evidently had other risk factors that worsened the dangers of Actos side effects. Had he known it might have ended differently, and with him still alive, according to his wife’s Actos side effects lawsuit lawyer.
Part of the problem with the drug is that it is exceedingly popular. Used to treat Type 2 diabetes, it treats a condition that affects millions of Americans and will likely include even more as obesity rates increase. However, Actos side effects risks are exacerbated not just by the number of users but by the new inexpensive generics that are hitting the market. Many people who could not afford the drug when it was a brand name option will be able to if their health insurance includes generic coverage, opening up even more risk.
