Xarelto (rivaroxaban) is a popular blood thinner, which may be linked with an increased risk of Xarelto internal bleeding.
Janssen, Xarelto’s manufacturer, claims that over seven million people across the globe have been prescribed Xarelto. These patients use Xarelto to prevent dangerous blood clotting complications.
However, some claim that Janssen’s marketing of Xarelto actually misinformed patients and the medical community about the actual safety of the drug. According to Xarelto lawsuits, Janssen deliberately underplayed Xarelto’s safety and efficacy.
Many Xarelto users are now coming forward, claiming that Xarelto is in fact less safe to use than the anticoagulant staple, warfarin.
Xarelto Bleeding Side Effects
Many Xarelto bleeding lawsuits allege that a series of clinical trials have revealed a link between Xarelto and major bleeding events, such as gastrointestinal bleeding.
The studies indicated that bleeding on Xarelto was a greater risk than bleeding on other similar drugs, including generic warfarin. Internal bleeding while on blood thinners may become very dangerous.
Not all side effects of Xarelto are severe or dangerous, and not all users of Xarelto experience side effects. Those who do, however, can be subject to extremely severe and dangerous bleeding issues that cannot be controlled or reversed, given that there is no antidote to counteract Xarelto’s effects.
The lack on an antidote makes Xarelto much more potentially dangerous in the event of a bleeding emergency. It is essential that treatment for internal bleeding be sought immediately. A delay in acquring treatment for internal bleeding could result in death.
Xarelto bleeding lawsuits claim that Janssen was not only aware of these studies and the bleeding risks of Xarelto, but failed to report these major bleeding complications as significant adverse effects. On top of this, the lawsuits allege that Janssen failed to adequately warn consumers and the medical community about the major bleeding risk associated with Xarelto.
Xarelto Bleeding Lawsuits
Xarelto is currently facing hundreds of Xarelto bleeding lawsuits filed for patients who have experienced bleeding on Xarelto. These patients may have experienced gastrointestinal bleeding, hemorrhaging, or other adverse events.
These Xarelto lawsuits claim that the drug makers failed to be completely transparent in the warnings for their product and the Xarelto bleeding side effects, as well as the complications involved in the treatment for internal bleeidng.
These cases also allege that the drug maker should be held accountable for not providing an approved antidote that could reverse the medication’s effects, given the potentially damaging Xarelto side effects many claim to have suffered.
Plaintiffs involved in Xarelto internal bleeding lawsuits allege that Xarelto led directly to severe bleeding, and that the manufacturers failed to adequately warn the public and the medical community about Xarelto’s potential dangers and side effects.
Plaintiffs further allege that drug makers had a responsibility to provide blood level monitoring for users of their drug, especially after recent studies which have suggested blood level monitoring might significantly assist doctors to care for patients who use Xarelto.
