SOUTH CAROLINA XARELTO LAWSUIT

Xarelto Lawyers

If you or a loved one has suffered injury due to the side effects of Xarelto (rivaroxaban), we urge you to contact the personal injury lawyers of Joe and Martin at (843) 357-8000. There are ongoing and current cases – mass tort – against Xarelto and it’s manufacturer which you may be able to join. All anticoagulants can cause bleeding issues, but Xarelto is dangerous because there is no antidote. This can lead to potentially fatal abdominal bleeding and cerebral hemorrhaging.
Like any manufacturer, pharmaceutical companies have a duty to ensure that their products are reasonably safe to use. Any failure to fulfill this duty can be grounds for a lawsuit. Any significant damages incurred due to a complication caused by Xarelto, may entitled you to compensation for:

  • Pain and suffering
  • Diminished quality of life
  • Wages lost while out of work
  • The costs of medical treatment, including ongoing and future care

What Is Xarelto?

Xarelto is an anticoagulant manufactured by Bayer AG and marketed in the United States by Janssen Pharmaceuticals, a division of pharmaceutical giant Johnson & Johnson. Following a fast track regulatory review, the FDA approved Xarelto for general treatment of:

  • Stroke
  • Heart arrhythmia
  • Deep vein thrombosis
  • Pulmonary embolism

This drug has also been commonly prescribed to patients who have recently undergone a knee or hip replacement surgery.

What Are the Side Effects, Symptoms, and Risks of Xarelto?

Traditional coagulants and anticoagulants are dosed based on the patient’s weight and (in)ability to clot. Xarelto, however, has been given as a “one size fits all” treatment. This is what leads to injuries due to improper prescriptions and accidental overdoses. When this happens, there are immediate health risks and concerns for patients who suffer bleeding. When bleeding occurs, the patient has to wait for the medication to wear off as there is no antidote. This waiting period can be an extreme health risk and potentially fatal. Potential injuries caused through the use of Xarelto include:

  • Cerebral hemorrhage
  • Decreased Hemoglobin
  • Dyspnea
  • Hematoma
  • Peripheral Edema
  • Severe Internal Bleeding

If you have been taking Xarelto and are experiencing side effects such as:

  • Abdominal Swelling
  • Blood in the Stool
  • Dizziness
  • Easy Bruising
  • Fatigue
  • Pale Skin…

Then you may be at great risk of internal bleeding and other serious complications. It is highly advised that you immediately stop all use of Xarelto and consult with your physician right away. For a more detailed list of Xarelto side effects and their severity, click here.
