Xarelto (rivaroxaban)anticoagulant

Doctors have been prescribing Bayer’s  blood thinner Xarelto to prevent blood clots and protect patients from strokes. One of the major drawbacks is that the drug may also cause uncontrollable internal bleeding that can lead to hospitalization and death. Lawsuits recently filed against Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceutical claim the company did not warn the public of the potential dangers and want the drug removed from the market.

What is Xarelto?

Xarelto is an anticoagulant or more commonly known as a blood thinner. This drug is used to stop blood from clotting and is a specific type of Factor Xa inhibitor.

Doctors regularly prescribe Xarelto to help prevent patients from suffering an injury caused by blood clots, such as a stroke, deep-vein thrombosis, or pulmonary embolism.

Xarelto is occasionally prescribed to patients who have had knee or hip replacement surgery. Xarelto is also used as in patients who have certain types of atrial fibrillation, an irregular and rapid heart rate, not caused by problems with their heart valves.

Adverse Reactions to Xarelto

The most common adverse side effects from Xarelto include uncontrollable bleeding and increased risk of wound infections or other complications. The risk of bleeding may be increased in certain patient groups, including patients with uncontrolled severe arterial hypertension and/or concomitant treatment affecting hemostasis.

The FDA warns that there is not currently an available antidote for Xarelto.
