WE ARE NO LONGER ACCEPTING ACTOS CASES
Actos is a medication for patients with type II diabetes or those who show early symptoms. Actos—generic name pioglitazone— was approved by the FDA in 1999. Manufactured and distributed by Big Pharma companies Takeda and Eli Lilly, this drug makes billions of dollars in sales every year.
Unfortunately, Actos is linked to bladder cancer—as detailed in warning published by the FDA in June 2011. Patients who use Actos for one year or more have a 40% increased risk of developing bladder cancer.
This drug, as well as another similar medication called Competact, is banned in Europe because of its link to cancer.

Facts About Actos Cases
- Actos makers Takeda and Eli Lilly are currently facing almost 9,000 bladder cancer lawsuits.
- Multi-district litigation (MDL) is designated to the Western District of Louisiana (No. 2299).
- Eight cases have gone to jury, with plaintiffs winning five.
Victims of Actos bladder cancer have recovered millions of dollars in compensation. In April 2014, a jury awarded an Actos bladder cancer victim $9 billion in punitive damages after finding that Takeda and Eli Lilly intentionally hid the drug’s risk of cancer. This was ultimately reduced to $36.8 million by the judge, but the message to these companies was clear, as the judge also denied their request for a new trial.
