Can Actos cause Heart Failure?
ACTOS cause or exacerbate congestive heart failure in some patients. Observe patients carefully for signs and symptoms of heart failure including excessive, rapid weight gain, dyspnea, and/or edema. If these signs and symptoms develop, the heart failure should be managed according to the current standards of care. Furthermore, discontinuation or dose reduction of ACTOS must be considered. If your mom has no underlying heart ailment, then she would be observed first with the above symptoms to determine whether she’s fit to continue with the drug.
