An Overview of Xarelto Lawsuits
When pharmaceutical companies put the public at risk, they need to be held accountable. Currently, Janssen Pharmaceuticals is facing a number of serious Xarelto lawsuits which allege that the drug is both dangerous and defective. In addition, the plaintiffs claim that:
- Xarelto is linked to bleeding complications and has resulted in serious and fatal injuries, including cerebral hemorrhaging and gastrointestinal bleeds.
- Because there is no antidote for Xarelto, doctors have no way of stopping a bleed in an emergency.
- The manufacturers continue to market the drug as a safe anticoagulant.
- The manufacturers continued to market the drug as safe and superior to other anticoagulants, despite studies that found higher rates of gastrointestinal bleeding and transfusions.
- Physicians were not properly trained on how to treat a patient on Xarelto in the event of a bleeding complication.
- Patients were not adequately warned about the risks of suffering a potentially fatal bleeding event.
