What is Xarelto prescribed for?

Xarelto was produced by Janssen Pharmaceuticals, which is a part of Johnson & Johnson and Bayer Health Care Company. It has been prescribed to people as an anticoagulant to lower their chances of strokes, blood clots, pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis. Medications that thin out the blood to prevent these types of medical conditions always come with some type of a risk. Xarelto has been connected to a high risk for internal bleeding. The Company that produced the drug has not informed medical professionals about this dangerous side effect. Before Xarelto was on the market, many people were prescribed warfarin to help thin the blood. However, this medication requires more monitoring and doctor visits than Xarelto does, but the Johnson and Johnson Company knew that doctors were not able to stop or reverse bleeding problems when a person was taking Xarelto. This bleeding problem could lead to serious complications and even death. Even though the bleeding that warfain caused has been revealed to be treatable and Xalreto bleeding has not to be well controlled, Johnson and Johnson stated that this is the better choice for patients even when they knew about the risks.

What are some of the dangerous effects Xarelto can cause?

Some of the dangerous side effects that people taking Xarelto have experienced may include but not limited to:

• Internal bleeding
• Bleeding in the intestines
• Bleeding problems connected to the kidneys
• Brain bleeding
• Death resulting from blood loss

What should I do if I have experienced one of these dangerous side effects?

The first and most important thing you should do if you experience one of these side effects or any other serious problem is to seek medical treatment as soon as possible. You should ask your doctor if you need to decrease the amount you take or stop taking the medication completely.
