Xarelto
Xarelto was initially approved in 2011 and is one of the most recent blood thinners on the market. Bayer manufactures this blood thinner, while Johnson & Johnson’s subsidiary, Janssen Pharmaceuticals, provides markettng.
Dangerous side effects include:

- Embolism
- Brain hemorrhaging
- Death caused by uncontrolled bleeding
There is no known antidote at this time for uncontrolled bleeding as a result of Xarelto. According to Drug Watch, Xarelto may be “on the same dangerous path that Pradaxa has taken.” In 2012 alone, there were a number of deaths as well as serious bleeding events linked to Xarelto. By early 2016, those numbers had risen.
Multidistrict Litigation (MDL) against Xarelto Manufacturer
According to reports, plaintiffs have continued to file lawsuits over Xarelto. In December of 2014 and January of 2015, judges in Pennsylvania and Louisiana consolidated the cases into multidistrict litigation (MDL). Currently, according to court documents, there are more than 2,400 lawsuits against Xarelto. This is just in the federal litigation in the U.S. District Court in the Eastern District of Louisiana. The lawsuits claim that as a result of using the blood thinner, serious complications, health problems, and even death have arisen.

Pradaxa and FDA Reports

Ultimately, Pradaxa was named in 932 adverse event reports by the end of 2011.
