    Some previous studies have linked the diabetes medication pioglitazone to bladder cancer. However a new study — including more than one million people in six populations worldwide — has found no link between either pioglitazone or rosiglitazone, also known as Avandia, and bladder cancer.

    There was some media buzz a while back about the diabetic drug Actos and it having a connection to bladder cancer. I even saw an ad in a magazine about a class action law suit in the US but haven’t heard anything about the outcome of that.

    There are drugs out there that carry risks of creating another disease while we are taking it for something else so we always need to weigh the pros and cons with our medical team before embarking on any treatment protocol.
