Bayer, the company behind the blood thinning drug Xarelto, is coming under a great deal of fire right now due to harmful and potentially deadly side effects of the drug. Despite advertisements that Xarelto is safe and convenient, many patients have experienced serious problems with internal bleeding.<\/p>\n

It is not uncommon for doctors to prescribe blood thinners to patients who have suffered from blood clots and\/or who are at an elevated risk for developing clots. Older blood-thinning drugs, like warfarin, were commonly prescribed for this purpose for many years. However, to determine the correct dosage, blood tests must be conducted. Furthermore, warfarin requires patients to adhere to a fairly strict diet to be effective.<\/p>\n

Because Xarelto does not require blood testing or special diets, it has become very popular with doctors and patients alike. Unlike warfarin and other similar drugs, however, Xarelto also does not require regular monitoring and can thus be more convenient for patients, as they will not have to schedule as many appointments with their doctors.<\/p>\n

Safety Issues with Xarelto<\/h3>\n

While warfarin may require more testing, dieting, and monitoring, if a patient is injured and begins to bleed uncontrollably (either externally or internally), there is an antidote available to slow or stop the bleeding while the injury is addressed. This is not the case with Xarelto. Internal bleeding associated with Xarelto use cannot be slowed or stopped because there is no antidote available.<\/p>\n

Thus, if a patient on Xarelto is injured and begins bleeding internally, there is no option but to wait (under medical supervision) until the drug is out of the patient\u2019s system when the patient\u2019s blood will resume its ability to clot and stop the bleeding.<\/p>\n

Symptoms of Internal Bleeding<\/h3>\n

Because Xarelto is associated with uncontrollable internal bleeding, patients taking the drug should be aware of the signs and symptoms of internal bleeding. When taking Xarelto, any accident or injury could become serious and even life-threatening.<\/p>\n
