Harmed by a deffective drug? Contact Graves McLain Injury Lawyers for a Free Consultation.

Xarelto is one member of a new family of anti-coagulant, or blood-thinner, drugs known as New Oral Anti-Coagulants (NOACs) which were marketed by promising increased convenience and freedom for patients. However, the tragic reality is that this medication has been linked to serious and even life-threatening side-effects, and thousands of patients are at risk.

  • Deep Vein Thrombosis
  • Pulmonary Embolism
  • Stroke
  • Blood Clots

Xarelto is a prescription medication that was originally approved by the FDA in 2011 to prevent blood clots in patients that recently underwent knee or hip replacement surgery. Xarelto was designed to treat up to six different medical conditions that affect the way the body heals and prevents bleeding. Rivaroxaban, the active ingredient in Xarelto, can help reduce a patient’s risk of suffering from:

Risks Associated with Xarelto

Johnson & Johnson subsidiary Janssen Pharmaceuticals and the Bayer Corporation first developed Xarelto as an alternative to older blood-thinners that required patients to take monthly blood tests. Xarelto treated the same types of medical conditions but promised patients that they would no longer have to undergo this type of monthly monitoring. However, new information has concluded that there is no data to support Xarelto’s claim that patients would no longer require monthly blood tests. In fact, thousands of patients taking Xarelto have been seriously or even fatally harmed by this medication after dangerous side-effects were left unchecked by their doctors. Xarelto has been linked to several serious or even fatal, side effects that have no known antidote or treatment options.

Potential side effects include:

  • Gastrointestinal Bleeding
  • Bleeding in the Brain
  • Coughing or Vomiting Blood
  • Uncontrollable Internal Bleeding
  • Bloody stool
Warnings to Patients

In 2012, Xarelto received a Black Box warning from the Food and Drug Administration. These types of warning labels are reserved only for medications that pose a significant risk of serious or life-threatening side effects for patients. Despite the strong link between Xarelto and uncontrollable bleeding, the drug remained on the market and has placed thousands of patients at risk. The pharmaceutical companies responsible for manufacturing and marketing Xarelto are now facing numerous liability claims alleging that they did not properly warn the public of the associated risks of taking their medication. Hundreds of patients continue to come forward to seek damages, claiming that they were seriously harmed by the medication and were not made fully aware of the potential side-effects.

  • They were always willing to respond and were very positive

    My orthopedic doctor recommended Graves McLain Injury Lawyers, to me following the need for revision hip surgery due to a hip from Stryker that was putting poison into my system.
    The doctor took care of the hip, and Graves McLain Injury Lawyers, took care of the legal case.
    They were very thorough, professional, courteous, and always ready to answer the questions I had throughout the length of the case. In a word, the entire office is fantastic.
    I’m sure they were tired of my inquiries on the case’s progress, but they did not show it.
    They were always willing to respond and were very positive.
    If I ever have a claim in the future, they will be the first group to whom I reach out.

  • I will recommend them to others

    I was referred to Graves McLain Injury Lawyers through an Uber passenger. I reached out and was connected with Miss Angela, who made me feel so comfortable. She was very upfront with everything and kept a very open line of communication. I got to work with Amy W. & Amy M., who were two fabulous ladies who helped wrap up my case. When I thought I would be screwed with trying to get somewhere with the insurance company, these ladies came to the rescue. Without a doubt, I would contact them again, and I will recommend them to others. Thanks again!

  • Very responsive and kind

    I am extremely pleased with how my case was handled at Graves McLain Injury Lawyers.
     
    I hired Chad after fighting with the insurance company for over a year. Feeling defeated and overwhelmed with medical bills, once my case was handled by my attorney, I felt at ease.
    Chad and his team were very responsive and kind.
    They answered all my questions and even helped me figure out lost wages based on a commission rate of pay.
    He was able to get maximum compensation and now I can get back to my life!
    I would 100% recommend Graves McLain Injury Lawyers time and time again.

  • Highly Recommend

    My case just settled and I want to thank Rachel Gussman, Janet, Sonia, Emily, Amy, and Margo.

    I was thoroughly impressed with their skills, office staff professionalism and friendliness, communication, and of course, the end results.
    I highly recommend Graves McLain Injury Lawyers
