subject: Pradaxa May Cause Internal Bleeding [print this page] More and more people witness the negative effects of the anticoagulant Pradaxa has on their bodies. Whether we're talking about internal bleeding or a heart attack, the damages produced can lead to the patient's death, leaving families in despair and sorrow. The number of lawsuits against the drug company that produces Pradaxa, Boehringer Ingelheim, is constantly growing and investigations seem to link more internal bleeding cases to this particular anticoagulant.
Pradaxa was not on the market for a very long time and after only 14 months after approval, the Food and Drug Administration have issued warnings regarding the safety of taking this medication and possible links with severe internal bleeding and higher risks of suffering from a heart attack.
The risks of internal bleeding can be organ failure, shock or may even lead to the patient's death. Pradaxa users need to be aware of internal bleeding signs and symptoms associated with this very serious condition and should seek immediate medical assistance in case they experience any of the symptoms. Reporting internal bleeding symptoms in time could make a big difference in the outcome of this condition. The following internal bleeding symptoms need to be reported as soon as possible:
- Frequent nose bleeding;
- Coughing up blood;
- Vomiting blood;
- Gums bleeding;
- Blood in urine;
- Excessive vaginal bleeding;
- Severe bleeding.
If you or a loved one took Pradaxa and experienced one of these symptoms, you need to seek both medical and legal assistance immediately before it is too late. Victims of drugs like Pradaxa may be eligible to file a lawsuit against the drug company and get financially compensated for all medical expenses, the pain and suffering experienced by the patient as well as any other factor that had a bad influence on the patient's quality of life. A lawyer specialized in Pradaxa lawsuits can not only provide you the best legal information for your case, but also maximize your chances of getting properly compensated and allow the patient to enjoy life once more. Financial resources will allow the patient to be treated by the best medical personnel in the field and will offer support for the family as well as relieve some of the stress accumulated.
