A Lawsuit Comparison Of Pradaxa And Xarelto

March 22, 2016 – – BloodThinnerHelp.com reports on lawsuits filed against the Pradaxa manufacturers, Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, and Xarelto manufacturers, Johnson & Johnson and Bayer. Both drug manufacturers have faced thousands of lawsuits for the alleged negative side effects of their blood-thinning drugs. While Pradaxa hit the market in the U.S. in October 2010, Xarelto debuted only a year later when it was approved by the FDA in 2011.

Following its debut, thousands reported suffering serious side effects. Those side effects mentioned by Pradaxa users included many of the same ones alleged by users of Xarelto including gastrointestinal bleeding, internal bleeding, stroke and heart attack. Just as a multidistrict litigation panel was formed in Illinois for plaintiffs involved in the cases against Pradaxa, another panel was formed in Eastern Louisiana in 2014 for those patients who claim Xarelto has caused them pain and suffering. MDL No. 2592 in Louisiana has now reached close to 3,000 cases and a bellwether trial is set for January 2017.

Boehringer Ingelheim, however, eventually stated that it would pay $650 million for both state and federal Pradaxa lawsuits to be settled. Plaintiffs alleging Xarelto has caused them health problems have not yet been so lucky.

Most lawsuits allege that Xarelto caused uncontrollable internal bleeding resulting in death or serious injury. Despite thousands of lawsuits, Xarelto is anticipated to be the 19th best selling drug in the world and will generate 3.7 billion US Dollars in sales by 2018, which is up from the $596 million it generated in 2012, according to EvaluatePharma in its World Preview.

As many Xarelto plaintiffs await court dates, Attorney Joseph Osborne is working to make sure that those who claim they have been negatively affected by the blood-thinning drug are given the opportunity to explore their legal rights. Osborne is currently offering free consultations to qualifying parties and those affected may be entitled to financial compensation.
