Pradaxa is a blood-thinner that was designed to prevent platelets in your blood from sticking together to form a blood clot. However, the drug has been linked with several dangerous side effects that can severely impact one’s health. As such, our personal injury attorneys in Miami at Goldberg & Rosen are proud to represent individuals who have been adversely affected by Pradaxa, helping them file lawsuits against the drug manufacturer to receive the compensation they deserve.
Like other anticoagulants, Pradaxa works to inhibit the body’s ability to form blood clots. All anticoagulants pose a risk of serious bleeds – however other drugs on the market have an antidote that can easily stop the bleeding if it occurs.
Because Pradaxa does not have an antidote to reverse its anticlotting effects, it poses an increased risk for serious and irreversible bleeding that can be fatal. While on Pradaxa, bleeding may develop due to a fall or trauma, but it can also occur spontaneously.
In addition, elderly patients may be at an even greater risk, because they are likely to have balance issues and their blood vessels are more fragile.
Bleeding from Pradaxa has resulted in hundreds of deaths since the drug hit the market. In addition, thousands of people have experienced damaging side effects – including rectal, brain and gastrointestinal bleeding.
