Actos, the most popular drug prescribed to help treat type-2 diabetes, was put on the FDA watch list on January 31, 2011. Since then, Actos was subject to a study in the American Heart Association which recorded a total of 599 incidents of cardiovascular problems or death in those who took Actos (out of 28,000 patients). Many of those who took Actos, because they believed it was safer than Avandia, now feel like they are victims of Actos. The concern about Actos comes from:
- FDA Studies showing an increased risk of bladder cancer for those who used Actos over a longer period of time or in higher doses.
- An August 14, 2007 recall of Actos because the Actos box lacked a warning about the risk of heart failure.
- The Texas Attorney General has begun to investigate Eli Lilly, the company that co-markets Actos, by requesting a wide range of documents and information related to Actos.
