Xarelto is a relatively new blood thinner, approved by the FDA in 2011. It was designed to prevent blood clots. The FDA approved Xarelto after a fast-track regulatory review for the general treatment of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. One of the most severe side effects is uncontrollable bleeding–a side effect that has posed serious health threats. Xarelto does not have an antidote, and in lawsuits filed by those injured by the drug, users and their dangerous drug attorneys said that they were not sufficiently warned about the drug’s side effects.

What Side Effects and Injuries Can Xarelto Cause?
Xarelto can cause severe injuries and complications that lead patients and their families to file lawsuits. These injuries include:
- Death caused by uncontrollable bleeding
- Intestinal bleeding
- Rectal bleeding
- Brain hemorrhaging
- Stroke
- Blood transfusion
- Hospitalization for a bleeding event
- Anemia
- Internal bleeding
- Embolism
- Blood clots
- Hemorrhaging
Sometimes, filing a lawsuit is the only way to hold big pharmaceutical companies accountable for making dangerous drugs and to get compensation for financial and emotional losses. Thousands of serious adverse effects, many of which were uncontrollable bleeding, have been linked to Xarelto.
Many personal injury lawsuits have claimed that the defendant (Bayer and Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Xarelto’s manufacturers) concealed important safety information and that Xarelto was not adequately tested before being put on the market. The Memphis Xarelto attorneys at Gatti, Keltner, Bienvenu & Montesi can help you get the fair and full compensation you deserve.
