The Simmons Firm is currently investigating the drug Actos based on the FDA warnings that those people taking Actos have a high risk of developing bladder cancer.  This has led to Actos lawsuits against Takeda Pharmaceuticals, the manufacturer of Actos.
 
Patients who have bladder cancer are urged not to use Actos, and the medication should be used with caution by patients who have a prior history of bladder cancer, the FDA warns.  If you would like more information about Actos bladder cancer lawsuits, contact the Actos lawyers today.  We're here to help.
