Actos Litigation
Call Our Nationwide Texas Defective Drug Attorneys
Advances in medical technology and in the pharmaceutical industry have led to the creation and distribution of drugs to treat conditions much more effectively than in the past. While innovation and entrepreneurship have led to many successes in treating many diseases and medical conditions, some drugs have side effects that their manufacturers either didn't know about or hid from the public.
Actos is a drug prescribed to people with Type 2 diabetes, also known as adult-onset diabetes. The intent of the drug was to help to control blood sugar levels. However, subsequent studies have linked to Actos to instances of bladder cancer and heart failure.
