Xarelto Lawsuit Plaintiffs Use Studies Connecting Use of Xarelto to Excessive Bleeding In Their Cases

June 09, 2016 – – TheProductLawyers.com reports on lawsuits that are underway against the manufacturers of Xarelto, with 550 cases in a mass tort program in Philadelphia, PA along with an additional 2,800 cases in a multidistrict litigation in Louisiana consolidated by the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML) and overseen by the Honorable Judge Eldon Fallon.

Xarelto was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2011 to treat patients who were at an increased risk of stroke or blood clots due to various medical conditions or surgical procedures. Patients suffering from deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism or atrial fibrillation, or those who required hip or knee replacement surgery were likely to receive the blood-thinning drug Xarelto. As a new-generation blood thinner, it was met with a lot of excitement upon its release to the market, however, it was not long after its release that patients began to experience potentially life-threatening side effects related to dangerous and sudden instances of uncontrollable bleeding.

Patients have used a number of studies that have been conducted on these various side effects to support their cases in court. One such study was done by two doctors of their own prompting. Judy Hun and John Hwang began to notice that many of their patients taking Xarelto began to suffer from episodes of eye bleeding, otherwise known as “spontaneous vitreous hemorrhage.”

After their own investigation, they concluded that the risk of eye bleeds could be increased in patients who had switched from using traditional blood thinners to Xarelto.

Another study conducted over the course of almost two years beginning on October 1, 2010, and concluding on March 31, 2012, evaluated the potential linkage of excessive bleeding to Xarelto. The study evaluated almost 46,000 users of blood-thinning drugs such as Warfarin, Pradaxa, and Xarelto. The primary conclusion was that the use of Xarelto produced much higher numbers of uncontrollable bleeding episodes than the other blood-thinning drugs included in the study.
