About the Health Risks of Xarelto
Xarelto (rivaroxaban), a commonly prescribed blood-thinner approved by U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), is used to block the activity of certain clotting substances in the blood. The medication works by inhibiting Factor Xa (FXa), an enzyme needed to clot the blood, thereby decreasing the risk of blood clots. It is used to reduce the risk of stroke and to prevent a specific type of blood clot referred to as deep vein thrombosis (DVT), as well as in pulmonary embolism (PE), characterized by blood clots in the lungs. Xarelto is also used in people with atrial fibrillation, a heart rhythm disorder, to lower the risk of stroke caused by a blood clot.
Although Xarelto is a widely used anticoagulant in the United States, the pharmaceutical companies that manufacture Xarelto have allegedly failed to provide warnings to patients and medical care professionals regarding the potentially irreversible and uncontrollable internal bleeding caused by the popular drug. An estimated 18,600 lawsuits against the manufacturers of Xarelto, Janssen Pharmaceuticals (subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson) and Bayer AG, have alleged that they failed to provide warnings to patients and medical care professionals regarding the life-threatening injuries that may result from use of the medication.
Marketers of Xarelto have characterized this drug as being a cut above other blood-thinning drugs without disclosing the dangerous risks and serious side effects associated with the use of this medication. While most other anticoagulants have a readily available antidote for episodes of excessive bleeding, such as Vitamin K injections to encourage blood-clotting, Xarelto does not. There is no foreseeable cure to reversing the blood loss caused by the drug, except possibly by emergency dialysis, which may not be sufficient.
