    On June 15, 2011, the United States Food and Drug Administration informed the public that using the drug Actos, commonly prescribed in the treatment of Type 2 diabetes, has been positively associated with an increased risk of bladder cancer.

Actos is prescribed, along with diet and exercise, to help control blood sugar in adults.
