Upon approval of Actos in 1999, the FDA directed Takeda Pharmaceutical Co. \u2013 a Japanese Company who manufactures the drug \u2013 to undertake a post-marketing study on the safety and effectiveness of Actos. Takeda allegedly delayed the launch of the study \u2013 and thus delayed the results that would ultimately show a significant risk of bladder cancer to patients who used the drug.<\/p>\n
In June 2011, the FDA issued a drug safety alert, warning that the use of Actos for more than one year may result in an increased risk of bladder cancer. During this same time period, health authorities in France suspended the use of Actos due to the risk of developing bladder cancer.<\/p>\n
In April 2012, Health Canada, the government drug safety agency for Canada, also issued a safety warning on Actos. Diabetes patients prescribed Actos for over a year had two times higher risk of bladder cancer than diabetes patients not taking Actos, according to the studies.<\/p>\n

The claimants alleged that Takeda hid the bladder cancer risks of the diabetes drug, however, according to Drug Watch, Takeda insists that the benefits of Actos far outweigh the side effects.<\/p>\n Takeda officials announced that they will put the money into a settlement fund if 95% of plaintiffs agree to participate in the settlement; and if 97% of the plaintiffs sign up, the drug maker would add an additional $300 million, raising the settlement to $2.4 billion, according to Bloomberg News. Settlement awards would be more than $296,000 per case for plaintiffs who choose to participate in the settlement, but settlement amounts may be reduced depending on certain factors such as age, smoking history, and toxin exposure.<\/p>\n The settlement offer came just after the $36.8 million award against Takeda and Lilly for a man who alleged that he developed bladder cancer after taking Actos for about five years.<\/p>\n MTS urges patients who have developed bladder cancer while on Actos to contact them immediately to seek a free legal consultation to determine if they could be in-line for a large settlement award.
