Use of Pradaxa was first associated with uncontrolled bleeding while being used in elderly patients in New Zealand. This news was in September, 2011, at which time it was further discovered that the bleeding was uncontrollable. With other drugs, such as warfarin, bleeding was easy to stem by using vitamin K. However, this is not so with Pradaxa, leading to life-threatening consequences. Similar reports occurred in Japan, and the Cleveland Clinic also confirmed these problems in early 2012.
Our attorneys will work with you personally to determine the extent of the monetary damage this drug has caused you, and what legal remedies are at your disposal. Our goal is to help you obtain monetary compensation for the financial hardships you face.
