Pradaxa
If you or a loved one has taken Pradaxa and experienced any of the above reactions, please contact us today.
Pradaxa is a prescription drug used to prevent the formation of blood clots that can increase the risk of strokes in patients with atrial fibrillation (nonvalvular).
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is monitoring Pradaxa for an increased risk of serious or fatal bleeding, as are drug regulatory agencies worldwide.
The European Medicines Agency reported that as of Nov. 6, 2011, a worldwide total of 256 cases of serious bleeding resulting in death was reported in association with Pradaxa therapy.
In December 2011, the FDA stated that it was evaluating reports of serious bleeding and deaths in patients taking Pradaxa. It advised patients who had suffered adverse effects after taking Pradaxa not to stop taking the drug due to the risk of stroke but encouraged them to call their health care professionals immediately.
A Pradaxa injury lawyer should also be consulted to learn about this potentially dangerous drug.
Adverse effects of Pradaxa include:
- Unusual bleeding from the gums
- Nosebleeds
- Heavier than normal menstrual or vaginal bleeding
- Severe or uncontrollable bleeding
- Pink or brown urine
- Bruising
- Coughing up blood or blood clots
- Vomiting blood
- Heart attack
- Death
