What are the Side Effects of Xarelto?

Xarelto – rivaroxaban is its generic name – is an anticoagulant designed for the prevention of blood clots after knee or hip replacement surgery, or due to atrial fibrillation. The blood thinner is also used for the treatment of existing blood clots. Xarelto works by blocking proteins contained in the blood, so they cannot form clots.

One of the most serious side effects of this anticoagulant is uncontrolled bleeding. If uncontrolled bleeding occurs near other major organs like the lungs, brain, or kidneys, it interrupts the normal blood flow to these organs, resulting in a loss of functionality. Internal pools of blood pose numerous health risks and can become life-threatening.

Some side effects associated with Xarelto include:

  • Intestinal bleeding
  • Brain hemorrhages
  • Easy bruising
  • Persistent nosebleeds
  • Chronic pain
  • Migraines
  • Dizziness and fainting
  • Weakness
  • Bloody stools
  • Difficulty swallowing

The drug is touted by Johnson & Johnson and Bayer as safer and more convenient than the other blood thinners on the market. However, they seem to leave out of their marketing campaign that the drug has an extremely dangerous downside: Xarelto has no known antidote, while other anticoagulants such as Warfarin can be countered with vitamin K to stop the bleeding. While all blood thinners come with the risk of bleeding, the lack of an antidote means the uncontrolled bleeding can be fatal.

Big Pharma Sued for Xarelto Dangers

Johnson & Johnson (J&J) and Bayer are facing numerous lawsuits for the intestinal bleeding and cerebral hemorrhaging of Xarelto users. As mentioned, Xarelto cannot be counteracted easily by medical professionals, so extreme internal bleeding can begin without any clear way to stem it. Other blood thinners on the market come with the important safety mechanism of a known reversal for emergencies.

If you or a loved one has suffered from uncontrolled bleeding, organ damage, or brain hemorrhages while taking Xarelto, you may be entitled to reimbursement for your harms and losses. Big Pharma and its multinational corporations must not be allowed to knowingly place unsuspecting consumers in harm’s way in the name of profits.
