Pradaxa Internal Bleeding and Heart Attack Lawyers
What is Pradaxa?
Pradaxa (dabigatran) is a drug prescribed to treat patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation. It is included in a class of drugs referred to as "direct thrombin inhibitors" which work by inhibiting an enzyme in the body which causes blood to cells to clot and lead to stroke. The FDA approved Pradaxa use in October 2010.
Shortly after Pradaxa was approved, reports were filed with the FDA claiming that Pradaxa causes internal bleeding. No recall has yet been issued; however, the health regulating agency did release a safety communication in December of 2011 and is in the process of investigating internal bleeding claims.
Symptoms of internal bleeding include:
- Unexpected bleeding or unusually long lasting bleeding
- Severe or uncontrollable bleeding
- Pink or brown urine
- Red or black stools
- Bruises with unknown cause
- Blood clots and coughing up blood
- Blood in vomit or vomit with "coffee grounds" consistency
- Unexpected pain, swelling, joint pain, headaches, dizziness, weakness
Other side effects of Pradaxa that were reported to the FDA include gastrointestinal bleeding, heart attack, brain hemorrhaging, and even death.
