Top Reasons Actos Users Deserve Expert Legal Representation
### Important Information on Actos
Actos has been a significant medication for many people with Type II diabetes since it was approved by the FDA and released in 1999. This drug is produced and distributed by Takeda Chemical Industries, a major pharmaceutical company.
Type II diabetes is a condition where the body struggles to manage blood sugar levels because the insulin-producing beta-cells in the pancreas are either damaged or not functioning properly. If these beta-cells are destroyed completely, Type II diabetes can progress to the more severe Type I diabetes.
Interestingly, the exact cause of diabetes remains a mystery to scientists. This is where Actos comes into play, as it helps regulate blood sugar levels, effectively taking over some of the roles of insulin in the body. It can also be used together with insulin injections to stabilize blood sugar levels.
However, despite its benefits, Actos has been associated with serious side effects. It can cause liver damage, which can be fatal unless a liver transplant is performed. Some women have started ovulating again after menopause due to the drug. Other reported side effects include headaches, stuffy nose, swelling, coughs, colds, and muscle pain.
For some patients, managing the side effects of Actos has led to additional expenses, posing a significant financial burden, especially for those from less affluent backgrounds.
### Limited Options for Patients
Many patients using Actos find themselves in a tough spot, feeling like their only option is to sue the manufacturer for the damages and costs related to the side effects. This means finding a skilled lawyer to represent them in an Actos lawsuit, which can be quite costly due to high legal fees and other expenses.
Despite the financial strain, filing a lawsuit can still be worthwhile if you are affected. A competent lawyer can help you achieve the best possible outcome. To build a strong case, it’s important to provide your attorney with accurate and detailed information about your experience with the drug, including independent medical reports and research findings.
Additionally, a lawyer with good negotiation skills can help you secure a favorable settlement if both parties agree to resolve the matter out of court. If you have used or are using Actos, don’t hesitate to consult an attorney to explore your options.
