Actos Lawsuit
Understanding the Actos Lawsuit
At The Albenze Firm, we represent Ohio residents who have suffered serious health complications, including liver damage, as a result of taking Actos (pioglitazone), a diabetes medication manufactured by Eli Lilly and Company. For years, concerns regarding Actos’ potential to cause liver injury have been growing, and we are dedicated to helping those affected obtain the compensation they deserve.
Actos is a widely prescribed drug used to manage type 2 diabetes. However, mounting evidence, including numerous peer-reviewed studies and internal Eli Lilly documents, indicates that Actos significantly increases the risk of developing non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), a severe form of liver disease characterized by inflammation and fat buildup in the liver. This risk is particularly concerning for women, who are statistically more likely to experience serious liver damage when taking Actos.
Key Concerns Regarding Actos and Liver Damage
- Increased Risk of NASH: Studies have consistently shown a higher incidence of NASH in patients taking Actos compared to those taking other diabetes medications.
- Internal Eli Lilly Documents: Internal company documents, revealed during litigation, demonstrate that Eli Lilly knew about the potential liver risks associated with Actos for years but failed to adequately warn patients and physicians.
- Severity of Liver Damage: Actos-related liver damage can range from mild inflammation to life-threatening conditions like cirrhosis and liver failure.
- Long-Term Health Risks: Even after stopping Actos, some patients continue to experience liver problems and require ongoing medical treatment.
