More medical studies were released this week linking prescription�blood thinner Xarelto��to higher risks of stomach bleeding and eye bleeding. �Our�Georgia Xarelto� Lawyers�have heard from people all over America that have been affected by serious and deadly bleeding events while on Xarelto�. �These latest study results are no surprise to us.
A recent article in the JAMA Opthalmology Journal noted that Xarelto� can be associated with vitreous hemorrhage, which is a bleed that occurs between the lens and retina of the eye. �The reporting ophthalmologists noted a particularly�increased risk for people in their 70�s & 80�s when being transitioned from warfarin to Xarelto�.
A study released in the British Medical Journal states that Xarelto� could more than double your risk of suffering a stomach bleed. �The study was performed on 46,000 US patients�to determine the risk of GI bleeding on Xarelto� versus Coumadin or warfarin. �The study revealed a substantial risk associated with taking Xarelto�.
There are hundreds of lawsuits pending in Louisiana and Pennsylvania alleging that Johnson & Johnson and Bayer Pharmaceuticals failed to warn patients of the risk of deadly bleeding while on Xarelto�.
When a bleed occurs while on warfarin or Coumadin�, the patient can be supplied Vitamin K and frozen plasma to counteract the drug�s effects.
There is no such reversing agent for Xarelto�. �The advantages of Xarelto� marketed by it manufacturer include ease of dosage and less maintenance. �Yet, they do not tell you there is no way to stop a bleed on Xarelto� other than the good Lord above.
