New Study Links Pradaxa to Death and Internal Bleeding
By Scott Hardy
A new study was released by Dr. Mark Wurster at the Thrombosis & Hemostasis Summit of North America 2012 which stated that out of 113 patients included in the study fourteen were hospitalized and one died while, or soon after, being treated with Pradaxa. Each of the 113 patients included in the study had been switched from warfarin to Pradaxa to help reduce their risk of stroke. Patients took Pradaxa (dabigatran) in a dosage of 150 mg twice daily except for two who received 75 mg twice daily. The patients included in the study showed that, during their time taking warfarin, only one had to be taken off the blood thinning medication due to complications. This compares to the 13 patients who were removed from the Pradaxa trial after suffering severe side effects from internal bleeding to death and were removed from Pradaxa treatment.
You can read about the Pradaxa (dabigatran) and warfarin study here. Pradaxa and warfarin users are are reporting serious side effects like unusual bleeding from the gums, frequent nose bleeds, menstrual or vaginal bleeding that is heavier than usual, bleeding that is severe and may not be controlled and possible signs of internal bleeding. You may be experiencing internal bleeding if you have pink or brown urine, red or black stools, bruises that happen without a known cause and may get larger, if you are coughing up blood or blood clots and/or vomiting blood or your vomit includes particles that look like coffee grounds. As we stated, if you use Pradaxa and who experience at least one of these side effects you should contact your doctor immediately and also contact a Pradaxa attorney to see if you are eligible to participate in a Pradaxa class action lawsuit or file an individual Pradaxa personal injury lawsuit. Pradaxa lawsuit and class action attorneys are actively assisting people who took Pradaxa or warfarin and suffered side effects like internal bleeding or hemorrhage.
If you would like more information about filing a Pradaxa internal bleeding class action lawsuit or a Pradaxa internal bleeding personal injury lawsuit just go to the Pradaxa Internal Bleeding Class Action Lawsuit Investigation page. Pradaxa attorneys are actively investigating all claims regarding internal bleeding, hemorrhage and other problems which may have been caused by Pradaxa or warfarin.
