In the late 1990s Takeda Pharmaceuticals released a type II diabetes drug named Actos which some believe is a dangerous product. Actos has proved beneficial but there have been reported side affects. Many of people see the commercials for various drugs and then see the “fine print” at the bottom but sometimes this fine print becomes a reality. Sometimes companies fail to warn about possible side effects and long term health consequences.

Studies show that Actos may lead to bladder cancer and/or heart failure. Takes of Actos have reported problems such as bloody urine, pain when urinating, increase need to urinate and unexplained lower back pain.
