My Doctor Wants Me To Start Taking Actos Along With

My doctor wants me to start taking Actos along with Metformin for diabetes type 2. When googling this medicine I have found many law suits against this drug regarding bladder cancer. Even as far as paying out $296,000 dollars per claim. I have not gotten an answer as to why he feels I need this. It just makes me nervous with all the side effects I have read about.
