Does pioglit cause bladder cancer?
Patient: I was given Pioglit 15 by a doctor.  The sugar level drastically reduced and sometimes went below level.The side effect was that my weight increased up to six kilos within two months.  At the same time I listened to TV program and it was said that there is a danger getting cancer in the bladder.  Is it true? Doctor: Hi, dear. I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. pioglitazone can causes weight gain and hypoglycaemia.  But bladder cancer is not associated with the pioglitazone.  So don't worry about that. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
