Woman Suffers Uncontrollable Bleeding, Files Lawsuit Against Xarelto

June 06, 2016 – – TheProductLawyers.com reports that a lawsuit was filed by a Texas couple in the Eastern District of New York. The lawsuit, filed under case number 1:14-cv-04524, was filed before being transferred to a multidistrict litigation (MDL 2592) consolidation in Eastern Louisiana after a decision handed down by the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML). The plaintiffs in this particular case have alleged that the defendants in the case, Bayer AG and Janssen Pharmaceuticals, the latter of which is a subsidiary of the Johnson and Johnson Corporation, failed to sufficiently warn patients and medical professionals of the life-threatening risks related to the use of Xarelto, the anticoagulant medication they were taking.

The female plaintiff alleges to have only used the drug for about 5 months when she suffered a very quick onset of internal bleeding. She was prescribed Xarelto by her doctor to treat her atrial fibrillation and to prevent against the risk of stroke, as she was told her medical condition left her susceptible to having a stroke. The plaintiff has also stated in her court filing paperwork that she still has issues with bleeding that have created some enduring medical problems.

Xarelto has been on the market for approximately 5 years. During that time, it has become the focus of numerous lawsuits all across the United States. The drug was very popular with patients since it offered some benefits that blood thinner medications before it could not provide. Today, however, controversy swirls about the drug, as over 3,400 lawsuits have been filed. These lawsuits focus on the same allegations, that Xarelto puts patients at an increased risk for very dangerous, life-threatening internal bleeding that can be uncontrollable and fatal.

Complaints about the anticoagulant medication Xarelto and the risks associated with it continue to increase as many of the current plaintiffs await their court dates.
