What is pradaxa?

Pradaxa (dabigatran etexilate) is a widely prescribed anticoagulant used to reduce the risk of stroke and blood clots in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation. While effective in preventing clots, Pradaxa has been associated with a significant risk of severe and sometimes uncontrollable bleeding. This risk has led to numerous lawsuits filed by patients or their families, seeking compensation for the harm caused by these bleeding events.

If you or a loved one has suffered from severe bleeding complications believed to be linked to Pradaxa, consulting with a knowledgeable Pradaxa lawyer is crucial. A Pradaxa lawsuit can help recover damages for medical expenses, lost wages, pain, and suffering, provide financial relief, and hold the manufacturer accountable for inadequate warnings or safety measures.

Along with the above, choosing Alexander Shunnarah Trial Attorneys as your law firm of choice can provide you with the following benefits:

  • Legal knowledge about Dangerous Drugs 
  • Negotiating skills
  • Focus and dedication 
  • Commitment to getting you compensated
  • Motivation to proceed with your claim

signs of internal pradaxa injury

Pradaxa carries a serious risk of causing severe and sometimes uncontrollable bleeding. This side effect can lead to critical health issues or even death, particularly in patients with pre-existing conditions that exacerbate bleeding risks. Unlike some other anticoagulants, Pradaxa’s effects cannot quickly be reversed in emergencies, making bleeding incidents perilous. This has prompted healthcare professionals and patients alike to carefully weigh its benefits against the potential for life-threatening adverse events.

Individuals who take Pradaxa should be aware of the symptoms and complications associated with Pradaxa-related bleeding, which include:

  • Unusual bruising or bleeding that lasts longer than usual
  • Pink or brown urine; red or black, tarry stools
  • Coughing up or vomiting blood or material that looks like coffee grounds
  • Bleeding gums; frequent nosebleeds
  • Joint pain or swelling; headaches, dizziness, or weakness

Why hire a Pradaxa lawyer?

Navigating a Pradaxa lawsuit requires an attorney with specific experience in pharmaceutical litigation, especially with cases involving anticoagulants.

With time-sensitive statutes of limitations in place, prompt action is essential to file a claim.
