Actos - WE ARE NOT LONGER ACCEPTING ACTOS CASES

Prescription drugs such as Actos have been given to those that have type two diabetes in an effort to control their blood sugar. However, Actos is directly related to adverse and severe reactions for several patients in the United States. Some of the reactions that have been experienced are such things as: weighing more, experiencing reactions that can resemble having a cold, breathing difficulties, and having painful muscles. If you or a family member developed these reactions and sustained an injury because of them following the usage of Actos, it is advised that you talk to an Tennessee Injury Lawyer at the Higgins Firm. Our legal team will answer any questions you may have and help you to be fairly compensated for the injury you have been caused.

Actos helps with type two diabetes by heightening each cell's response to insulin. The heightened response to the insulin makes it easier for sugars in the blood to leave an individual rather than the sugars remaining in the blood and increasing to a risky level.

The most common reactions that have been related to being prescribed Actos are:

• A increase in how much the person weighs
• A sore throat
• A runny nose
• Upper respiratory infection signs
• Headaches
• Muscle pains
• Mouth and tooth pain

When research was conducted on Actos, an increased number of females did experience a higher chance of getting a broken bone to their hand, leg, or foot. The FDA released a warning about Actos being related to serious heart conditions for people at risk for these conditions.

The Actos medication was first marketed in the later 1990's and shortly after it was Takeda Pharmaceuticals highest in demand medication. In 2008, the Actos medication was ten on a list of the highest in demand medications sold in the U.S. Starting in 2007, though, litigation had begun for the medication's dangerous reactions including severe heart conditions as well as different adverse reactions to the medication.
