Saw my Dr. yesterday. He told me that I should immediatly stop taking the Actos I had been on for several years to treat my Type II diabetes. Dr. said that the Actos mfg rep told him that the company wants everyone to know that the latest research shows that Actos can cause bladder cancer. If you take Actos, PLEASE discuss this with your Dr.,( sooner rather than later). Sara

DH was on it; Dr. wants him to continue usage of it. But dh said "No way!"
He has been watching his diet closely, and blood sugar is staying in the normal range. If it continues for a month, he will not have to go back on a similar drug. He does check his blood sugar on a regular basis.

my husband took it years ago but no longer.
I stopped taking Celebrex due to the commercials saying it can cause heart attack, stroke or death. i don't want to be in the small percentage of population that is expendable as far as drug companies are concerned
