Actos Bladder Cancer Proves Devastating for Diabetics
» Escrito en , Uncategorized por mgudeman a las 20:03There are millions of Americans suffering from diabetes, particularly Type 2 diabetes, and one of the major diabetes drugs has been linked to a measurable increase in bladder cancer risks. Actos, which has close to 30 million annual prescriptions, has been the subject of two FDA Actos bladder cancer warnings, issued within 12 months of each and with the second bringing much worse news than the first. Cancer is perhaps the most feared medical diagnosis, something no person or family should ever have to deal with, but to have your diabetes medication be the cause of your bladder cancer is just unthinkable. Cancer treatment is expensive, and most insurance policies don’t cover the very best cancer treatments. Bladder cancer can spread throughout the rest of the body, metastasizing into lymphomas, lung cancer and even cancer of the bone. The drug company that made Actos, which does over $15 billion in annual sales, should pay for the very best bladder cancer treatment on the planet, but they won’t; instead, people will have to file Actos bladder cancer lawsuits just to recover the costs of their bladder cancer treatment. A single individual against a billion dollar multi-national corporation just isn’t a fair fight.
