Were you prescribed Xarelto for atrial fibrillation?

Xarelto, an anticoagulant blood thinner approved by the FDA in 2011, is prescribed to reduce the risks of stroke and blood clots in individuals suffering from atrial fibrillation, also known as A-Fib. Similar to other blood thinners such as Coumadin and Pradaxa, the drug reduces the chance of blood clots forming and traveling to the brain, which result in stroke or embolism, and blocked arteries.

Lawsuits Filed

A suit was filed in Pennsylvania on behalf of a woman who died after taking Xarelto. The Xarelto bleeding lawsuit states that Bayer and Janssen Pharmaceuticals, a Johnson and Johnson subsidiary, “fervently marketed” Xarelto without regard for reports of 356 serious, disabling and fatal injuries involving major bleeding, hemorrhaging and death. A Florida woman also filed suit after her husband died after taking Xarelto to treat A-Fib. Further, the drug is suspected of causing 72 deaths in the first quarter of 2013 in Germany alone.

FDA Issues Serious Warnings

The FDA has issued two black box (the strictest) warnings on Xarelto:
People with A-Fib, not caused by a heart valve problem, who discontinue Xarelto without replacing it with another blood thinner are at risk for dangerous blood clots
A spinal anesthesia performed on a person taking Xarelto may result in bleeding around the spine that can lead to long-term or permanent paralysis.
