Also known as dabigatran, Pradaxa made its way onto the pharmaceutical market as a treatment for heart valve complications. However, the The US Food and Drug Administration recently issued a warning of the possibility of stroke and severe bleeding injuries when taking the medication.
If you have been prescribed the brand name drug Pradaxa and experienced serious health complications, you should consult with your physician and a Pradaxa lawyer.
Much like its predecessor Warfarin, most of Pradaxa’s side effects result from its blood-thinning effects in the body. This means even minor injuries, such as a bruise or a small scratch, can trigger excess bleeding.
Some of the other detrimental and dangerous side effects of Pradaxa include:
While some of the side effects of taking Pradaxa are uncomfortable and intrusive, other side effects can be severe and result in life-changing injuries and, in extreme cases, death. Other problematic symptoms, such as hemorrhagic stroke, which have also been linked to the drug can be equally dangerous.
A dedicated Pradaxa attorney who has experience handling cases related to dangerous or bad drugs will understand all of the potential health risks associated with Pradaxa, and will have a team of medical professional who have testify as experts about the risks and complications associated with the drug.
