Xarelto is an anticoagulant medicine that thins the blood and is used to treat atrial fibrillation. Xarelto is advertised as not requiring the same level of blood monitoring as other anticoagulants such as Coumadin (warfarin).
Xarelto is made by Bayer and marketed in the U.S. by Johnson & Johnson subsidiary Janssen Pharmaceuticals. It was put on the market in 2011, a year after Pradaxa, another anticoagulant medication that has been subject to much litigation. If you are considering a dangerous drug lawsuit, contact our Houston Xarelto lawyers.
Xarelto has the potential to cause significant uncontrolled bleeding. Unlike Coumadin, the concentration of Xarelto in the patient’s blood cannot be reversed in the event of an overdose or other major complication, such as emergency surgery. This implies that doctors will need to schedule blood transfusions while trying to halt Xarelto bleeding via surgery or other methods. This has resulted in significant disability or death. Furthermore, unlike Coumadin, there is no means to track how Xarelto affects a patient’s blood. As a result, some people are unknowingly at an elevated risk of catastrophic bleeding.
The Xarelto MDL is pending before Judge Eldon Fallon of the Eastern District of Louisiana. If you or a loved one has taken Xarelto and suffered bleeding, stroke, or death contact the lawyers of Ramji Law Group.
