Xarelto

Xarelto is linked to serious side effects, including the potential risk of bleeding. In the first quarter of 2013, the number of reported adverse events associated with Xarelto surpassed Pradaxa, another new oral anticoagulant, which had previously ranked as the No. 1 reported drug for adverse events in 2012. As a result, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration changed its boxed warning on Xarelto in March 2014.

Legal cases involving this powerful anticoagulant drug marketed as a blood thinner can be very complicated. That’s why it’s critical you have an experienced Xarelto injury lawyer on your side. Don’t let pharmaceutical companies dictate what happens to you. Contact us. Our attorneys at Chhabra & Gibbs, P.A. can help you get the legal assistance you need.

How do you know if you or a loved one is suffering from serious side effects from Xarelto?  Some of the most common symptoms due to Xarelto exposure include nose bleeds, vomiting blood, headaches, dizziness, fainting, fatigue, red or brown urine, hypotension, unexplained swelling and muscle weakness.

What should I do if I am suffering from side effects due to Xarelto?

Don’t underestimate the seriousness of your symptoms. If you believe you or a loved one is a victim of Xarelto, we strongly urge you to take the following steps:

Seek immediate medical attention – Don’t take chances with your health. Visit an emergency room or your own doctor now. Serious health problems due to Xarelto can be life threatening.

Gather evidence – The more information you have about your health issues caused by Xarelto, the better off you will be if you need to file a Xarelto lawsuit. That way, if an insurance company or pharmaceutical manufacturer raises doubts, you’ll have proof of your medical issue. Evidence can include such things as photographs of health issues, copies of medical records and prescriptions, and a timeline or journal of when and what you notice about your health.

You might think you don’t need a lawyer. If you or a loved one is suffering from serious side effects due to Xarelto, you might think you can deal directly with insurance companies or Bayer HealthCare AG and Janssen Pharmaceuticals, which markets Xarelto in the United States.

Don’t be so sure. In most cases, most insurance companies and multi-national drug manufacturers only care about one thing – paying injury victims as little as possible. Make sure you have an attorney you can trust looking out for your best interests in your product liability case.
