Actos and Diabetes

Diabetes is one of the leading killer diseases. Patients usually get serious and sometimes do not respond to medications anymore because of complications which are sometimes brought about by side effects of medicines like Actos. Actos is an oral medicine for diabetes but recently the use of Actos has been suspended in France and Germany and the FDA has even issued warning for the use of this drug. Studies show that serious bladder cancer and even heart failures had been linked to this drug mostly to patients who used this for more than a year. For people who have diabetes, be careful with the medicines that you take. Make sure that your doctors know what they are prescribing. You should ask for details and information such as side effects that the drug may bring. This is to avoid the risk of getting much serious complications for the patient and avoiding Actos lawsuit for the doctors.
