Later, on June 15, 2011, another safety announcement was issued by US-FDA, and they announced that taking Actos for more than a year might increase the risk of bladder cancer in patients. For this announcement, FDA reviewed data from a five-year short-term ysis of a planned ongoing ten-year epidemiological study. The result of this short-term ysis illustrated that the number of patients, who used Actos for a long time and with higher dosages, were shown to develop an increased risk of bladder cancer.
