Just because a prescription drug has FDA approval does not mean that the drug is safe. The approval simply means that the drug’s benefits likely outweigh its risks. Unfortunately for the consumer the full risks of a drug aren’t always apparent at the time of approval.
What is even worse is that in some cases the drug manufacturer puts out a drug without sufficient warning about the serious side effects, making them legally liable to the consumer.
Several consumers of the prescription Xarelto, also know as rivaroxaban, have filed a Xarelto lawsuit after discovering the drug has been associated with causing severe and potentially fatal side effects.
The blood thinner drug, Xarelto, has been prescribed to assist in the prevention of blood clots in patients who have recently undergone a hip or knee replacement surgery. It has also been prescribed to patients who have an abnormal heartbeat.
Xarelto carries increased risks for the development of severe internal bleeding in patients. If you or loved one was prescribed Xarelto and suffered serious bleeding or your loved one passed away as a result, you may be entitled to compensation.
