Actos lawsuit

It seems the danger that many of these drug companies have is that while their research leads to some breakthroughs in cures for serious diseases, they also carry a high risk for causing other serious illnesses. Unfortunately, these side effects aren't typically known until the drug has already been in production and effected many people. Recently, the oral diabetes drug, Actos, was found to have done just this. It is also called ActoplusMet, Competact and Duetact and is linked to heart attacks, heart failure and increased risk of bladder cancer. Not things to be taken lightly. These could result in Actos lawsuits. The chemical name of Actos is Pioglitazone, so take note and inform others.
