Diabetic patients should read this news.

Intrigued by the number of Actos lawsuit being filed, I thought I would dig a bit deeper into the issue. As the wife of Type 1 diabetic husband, I am always interested in updating my knowledge about diabetic medicines.

Pioglitazone is the chemical name of Actos, an anti diabetic medicine that has been in the market for long. It seems the FDA first took notice of complaints of harmful side effects of Actos last year.

What I read further was shocking. Not only Pioglitazone but other such oral diabetic medicines might cause damage to heart’s capacity to pump blood to all parts of the body.

Coming to think of it, my husband also complains of pain in his toes which the doctors told him that the cause is due to lack of blood flow.

I believe the victims of Actos are filing lawsuit and they are being helped by the Actos attorneys O'Hanlon, McCollom & Demerath.

A teenager’s Accutane legal battle.

Circumstances demanded that I follow an Accutane lawsuit contended by a teenager who was once my student. Long before when she was taking math coaching from me, I noticed she suffered from cystic acne on the back of her neck.

I knew she took about every other acne cure medicines both orally as well as topical application. Nothing worked for her that forced her eventually to resort to taking Accutane.

The rest is known to the world. Yes, she succumbed to the harmful side effects of the dreaded Accutane. She had to take long leave from college when one day she was advised to seek legal compensation for her sufferings.

She told her Accutane injury lawyers that Accutane failed to warn her of the possible side effects.

I wondered how her lawyers would take her contention seriously. I was relieved when her case was eventually taken up and I am now following it with concern.
