Xarelto is a drug that’s used to prevent blood clots – however many patients have suffered serious bleeding events as a result of taking this medication. If you or a loved one has experienced a serious bleed after being exposed to the drug Xarelto, our expert legal team at Goldberg & Rosen will work relentlessly on your behalf to ensure you are fairly compensated for your injuries.


Xarelto: An Increased Risk of Potentially Fatal Bleeding

Manufactured by Johnson & Johnson and Bayer’s Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Xarelto is an anticoagulant that works to inhibit the body’s ability to form blood clots. However, unlike traditional anticoagulants whose effects can be easily reversed, there is no antidote for Xarelto.

As such, it poses an increased risk for serious and irreversible bleeding that can be fatal. For example, patients on Xarelto have experienced:

  • Wound infection.
  • Cerebral hemorrhaging.
  • Abdominal bleeding.
  • Excessive blood loss.
  • Bleeding from the eyes.
