Recently the public has been informed that the drug Actos (also referred to by the generic name pioglitazone) which is used to help manage diabetes has been associated with an increased risk of developing bladder cancer in patients who use the medication for a period of time longer than one year.

In June 2011, the FDA announced an Actos bladder cancer link and higher risk for people prescribed the medicine for an extended period of time (over one year). It is estimated that over 2.3 million patients had an Actos diabetes prescription filled in 2010.Actos bladder cancer lawsuit
