Pradaxa Side Effects Are Actually Fatal Classwide Issue
By John Curran
Pradaxa internal bleeding side effects are often fatal because there is no antidote for the for any hemorrhaging. What many media outlets are not covering is that, like antidepressant birth defects risks, these bleeding conditions are representative of the entire class of anticoagulants that are prescribed. They are known as Xa inhibitors, and they are all more effective than the old generic warfarin.
However, whether one looks at Xarelto, marketed by Janssen, or others that are currently in development, they all can lead to conditions just like Pradaxa internal bleeding side effects. There are at least four that will hit the market in the next few years. Only one, developed by Portola Pharmaceuticals, has a partner program that is looking at designing an antidote alongside its clinical program. All of the others are secretly fatal.
It’s important for patients who are at risk for strokes and other clot-related conditions to know that Pradaxa side effects are not uncommon. Any anticoagulant that ends with -xaban is a member of the class, and it is important for patients to consult with their doctors about these risks.
In the best case scenario, a Pradaxa internal hemorrhage event will lead to constant transfusions in an ICU unit over the span of a couple days. However, one Houston emergency room surgeon noted that he could only keep one out of ever four patients alive in spite of having the latest technology.
One piece of good news is that there are whispers that anticoagulant manufacturers like Boehringer Ingelheim (Pradaxa’s maker) are also working on antidotes, but those reports are not based on public information. For many, that was too late since the drug has already been on the market for more than two years, receiving approval in October 2010.
