Who uses it and for what conditions?
Xarelto is in the class of drugs called “new oral anticoagulants” (NOACs). It is prescribed to treat or prevent blood clots, including pulmonary embolisms (PE) and deep vein thrombosis. It is also prescribed to patients with atrial fibrillation to prevent strokes. Patients who have had knee or hip replacement surgery are often prescribed Xarelto. An alternative to Coumadin (warfarin), Xarelto is promoted by Bayer and Janssen as superior to Coumadin as it does not require frequent blood testing.
What can you do?
If you or someone you love has taken Xarelto and suffered severe bleeding, uncontrolled bleeding, decreased hemoglobin levels requiring blood transfusions, or death, you may be entitled to compensation for pain, suffering, physical injuries, medical expenses related to complications, and subsequent financial difficulties that result from being injured by a dangerously defective drug.
