The Eichholz Law Firm is looking for patients nationwide who have taken Pradaxa and have suffered internal bleeding injuries. Boehringer, the German pharmaceutical company that manufactures Pradaxa, reported more than 260 deaths related to use of the drug, and the FDA is reviewing reports of serious internal bleeding linked to Pradaxa.
Pradaxa is designed to prevent strokes in patients with atrial fibrillation. It works by inhibiting the enzyme responsible for blood clots. However, when a Pradaxa patient is involved in a serious bleeding accident, their blood does not clot and can lead to the patient bleeding to death.
In addition to internal bleeding, other dangerous life-threatening Pradaxa side effects include heart attacks, internal hemorrhaging and cerebral hemorrhaging.
If you or a loved one has suffered from internal bleeding after taking Pradaxa, you are encouraged to contact a Pradaxa injury lawyer to explore your legal options. For more information about Pradaxa or about any of The Eichholz Law Firm’s other consumer practice areas, please visit our website or call 1-800-JUSTICE for a free consultation.
