XARELTO®, manufactured by Bayer, is one of the most prescribed medications to treat and prevent blood cloths that can cause strokes. However, it can come at a price to those who use it. XARELTO® can cause irreversible internal bleeding requiring hospitalization and emergency surgery. The uncontrolled bleeding can also be fatal.
What is XARELTO®
XARELTO® is an anticoagulants drug also known as a blood thinner. It helps prevent the risk of stroke and blood clots in people with atrial fibrillation, not caused by a heart valve problem. For patients currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how XARELTO® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke.
XARELTO® is also a prescription medicine used to treat deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, and to help reduce the risk of these conditions occurring again.
XARELTO® is also a prescription medicine used to reduce the risk of forming a blood clot in the legs and lungs of people who have just had knee or hip replacement surgery.
Why XARELTO® is dangerous compared to others?
Older anticoagulants can also cause bleeding but they have an antidote that controls bleeding issues. XARELTO® as of now does not.
What makes Bayer liable for damages?
Current lawsuits filed claim potential dangers of irreversible bleeding from taking XARELTO® were never listed in Bayer’s trial, medical and marketing literature. They also claim Doctors were misled about the safety of the drug. Some of the lawsuits also claim that Bayer knew of the dangers but did not warn the public of them.
What is the potential for Compensation damages?
Boehringer Ingelheim maker of Pradaxa, a blood thinner similar to XARELTO®, is currently in litigation and has already settled for over $600 million dollars. The class action lawsuit represented nearly 4000 patients.
