Does Pioglit Cause Bladder Cancer?
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?

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.

Wish you a very good health.
