Here Is A Quick Cure For Xarelto Lawsuit
Our attorneys have filed a mass tort lawsuit on behalf of sufferers who took the blood thinner Xarelto (rivaroxaban) and suffered critical bleeding events. Pharmaceutical organizations, which includes the makers of Xarelto, have a duty to ensure that their drugs are reasonably protected for use - and failure to complete so may be grounds for compensation. Our lawyers are working tough to get those hurt by the drug the compensation they may be entitled to.
While bleeding can be a widespread complication associated with anticoagulants, it has been alleged that Xarelto is more harmful than traditional blood thinners since no antidote exists to reverse its blood-thinning common side effects of xarelto. This implies that, inside the occasion of an emergency, sufferers may possibly be at threat for irreversible bleeding problems, like life-threatening internal and gastrointestinal hemorrhaging.

Why Are Lawsuits Getting Filed?
Bayer and Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. are facing several Xarelto lawsuits alleging that the drug is harmful and defective. The plaintiffs claim that, unlike classic anticoagulants (e.g. warfarin, Coumadin) whose blood-thinning effects can be reversed using vitamin K, there is no antidote available for Xarelto. Since of this, the lawsuits claim, doctors have no effective means of stopping Xarelto users from bleeding inside the event of an emergency. Plaintiffs in the lawsuits allege critical and fatal injuries, including cerebral hemorrhaging and gastrointestinal bleeds, from use of the drug.
In addition to these risks, lawsuits against Bayer and Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen Pharmaceuticals are alleging:
The manufacturers of Xarelto marketed the drug as a superior within the field of anticoagulants despite studies finding higher rates of gastrointestinal (GI tract) bleeding and transfusions in Xarelto users than users of certain competitors.
The makers of the drug continue to market Xarelto as a safe anticoagulant option.
Doctors and medical staff were not properly made aware of methods to stabilize and treat a Xarelto user within the occasion of a bleeding complication.
Users of Xarelto were not adequately warned of the health risks of suffering a fatal bleeding event.
Xarelto is linked to critical bleeding complications, excessive blood loss, intracranial hemorrhaging, eye bleeding (vitreous hemorrhage), stomach bleeding, gastrointestinal bleeding, wound infections from inhibited clotting, and lack of effectiveness in preventing harmful clotting.
