Diabetes drug ‘Actos’ is safer than previously thought, says study

A new study led by Assiamira Ferrara from Northern California has quashed the previous findings that diabetes drug 'Actos' raise bladder cancer risk in users and stated that it is safer than thought previously and there isn’t any risk associated with the drug.

To prove this, the team looked at long-term data from nearly 200,000 diabetes patients and found no statistically significant association between taking Actos and increased risk of bladder cancer.

The lead researcher Igor Astsaturov stated that inflammation is a key risk factor for pancreatic cancer and chronic inflammation is common in people with diabetes. Astsaturov further added that people in higher stages of diabetes are more likely to face chronic inflammation, also they are more likely to be prescribed Actos. This might be the reason that researchers found statistical link between Actos and increased pancreatic cancer risk, he said.

The study is published in Journal of the American Medical Association.
