Maker’s Study: Pradaxa Side Effects No Concern
By John Curran
Boehringer Ingelheim has told the American Heart Association that Pradaxa internal bleeding side effects are about the same over a longer term of study as they were before. That is not expected to help them in court, as Pradaxa lawsuit attorneys note several issues with the four years of randomized studies.
For one, the percentages of Pradaxa internal bleeding side effects as a function of the total population was more than one percent for the gastrointestinal tract and nearly four percent for just major bleeding issues. Ironically, the Boehringer Ingelheim clinical director was proud of the data, which “add important clinical data to the safety profile of PRADAXA over a longer period of time.”
The fact that Pradaxa cerebral hemorrhage risks remain is problematic, even if the company and the FDA both neglect to mention the fact. While the company’s study noted that Pradaxa had half again the risk of intercranial bleeding, there is still no antidote. So even if there’s half the worry, the fatality risk is extremely high. As this site has reported, top emergency rooms have just a 25 percent chance at saving patients suffering from Pradaxa cerebral hemorrhage side effects.
Boehringer Ingelheim is allegedly working on an antidote, but until there is a way to reverse the effects, patients are effectively drowning if they suffer from Pradaxa intestinal bleeding side effects. Nothing the federal agency or the maker can say will alter that, or the fact that there are blood thinner alternatives that have such a side effect profile. The problem for many patients is that even if their doctors think that it is the right choice for them, it is extremely difficult for them to guess the risk level for Pradaxa intestinal bleeding side effects prior to treatment.
