Touted as a new generation of anticoagulant drug that does not involve the strict dietary and blood monitoring requirements of warfarin, Xarelto has become a popular blood thinning medication. Commonly prescribed to prevent blood clots and to reduce the risk of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation, Xarelto has a number of advantages for certain patients. But mounting adverse event reports point to serious, even deadly risks of this drug that may not have been properly and adequately disclosed to patients and their doctors.

Serious Side Effects Posed by Xarelto

Dangerous drug lawsuits against the makers of Xarelto are increasing. Injured victims and their families want to hold Bayer and Janssen Pharmaceuticals accountable for the drug’s severe, sometimes fatal side effects, namely:

• Internal bleeding
• Cerebral hemorrhage
• Blood clot
• Death

Xarelto is among a new generation of blood thinners. Since the 1950s, warfarin has been the leading anticoagulant for the prevention of blood clots.

While warfarin has been an effective medication for many people, it comes with fairly strict requirements regarding what you can eat while you are taking it, and it has dangerous interactions with a number of drugs. Warfarin also requires regular blood monitoring by your doctor. For these reasons, warfarin alternatives like Xarelto are an attractive option because they do not require stringent dietary restrictions and blood monitoring.

Like Xarelto, warfarin also poses the risk of severe internal bleeding; however, the bleeding caused by warfarin can be reversed with vitamin K. No such reversal agent exists for Xarelto, posing a serious risk and the potential for a number of wrongful death claims.
