Pradaxa Lawsuit Alleges Uncontrollable Internal Bleeding Within One Month Of Starting Pradaxa
By Scott Hardy
One of the latest Pradaxa internal bleeding lawsuits alleges that the drug caused uncontrollable internal bleeding after taking Pradaxa (dabigatran) for less than one month. Jacqueline Boston was prescribed Pradaxa in November of 2011 to treat her irregular heartbeat. Within just one month of taking Pradaxa Jacqueline suffered gastrointestinal bleeding and was hospitalized for twelve days. Jacqueline opted to file an individual Pradaxa gastrointestinal bleeding lawsuit rather than filing a Pradaxa class action lawsuit. Uncontrollable internal bleeding and massive hemorrhage are alleged to be a common deadly and severe side effects of Pradaxa. Pradaxa users who have suffered these side effects are filing lawsuits that allege Pradaxa’s serious, and previously unadvertised, side effects may kill. Families of loved ones who died from severe internal bleeding and hemorrhage are filing wrongful death lawsuits against Boehringer Ingelheim as well. Pradaxa internal bleeding or hemorrhage lawsuits typically allege that Boehringer Ingelheim did not adequately inform patients and their prescribing doctors of the risks of uncontrollable bleeds associated with Pradaxa usage. Pradaxa wrongful death lawsuits also allege that Boehringer Ingelheim did not warn or otherwise advise on how to help stop severe internal bleeding should it occur. Pradaxa hemorrhage lawsuits allege that the only way to control internal bleeding via medication is to flush the patient’s system of Pradaxa via dialysis which takes 2-3 hours to remove Pradaxa (dabigatran) from at least 60% of the patient’s system. While a patient is on dialysis they may bleed out and die or require multiple blood transfusions to survive. Doctors are looking for alternative ways to stop Pradaxa patients from bleeding out. Pradaxa users who experienced Internal Bleeding should contact a Pradaxa hemorrhage attorney immediately.
Jacqueline’s Pradaxa gastrointestinal bleeding lawsuit states that Boehringer Ingelheim failed to warn her of the risk of severe and uncontrollable internal bleeding while taking Pradaxa. Jacqueline is seeking damages to cover her medical treatment as well as punitive damages for her suffering.
Pradaxa users must be aware of the symptoms of internal bleeding. If you are on Pradaxa 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. If you or a family member are taking, or were taking Pradaxa or a blood thinner medication like Coumadin, and experienced internal bleeding or hemorrhage, you may be able to file a lawsuit to help you pay for your expenses, pain and suffering, and recovery. In addition, the spouse of a plaintiff in a Pradaxa lawsuit may be able to join as a co-plaintiff and sue for “loss of consortium” with their spouse.
