Lake Forest, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/28/2015 -- Medical health professional practitioners should really be very careful in dealing with patients as misdosage or the choice of drugs to be prescribed to patients because certain substances and medications would greatly affect any human being; hence, this may produce irreversible disabling, serious medical conditions and worse, death.

One of the most recent controversies in the medical and health industry is the use of anticoagulant drugs such as the Xarelto (Rivaroxaban). The primary action of this drug is to prevent increased blood viscosity and clotting because of its anticoagulant effects. This very promising drug has been used to replace other anticoagulants such as the Warfarin or Coumadin because the latter entails very serious monitoring and blood levels of the drug should consistently be checked to prevent untoward effects such as profuse bleeding, arrhythmias, severe headache. Long-term and use of these drugs without proper monitoring and follow-up from the prescribing physician may also cause serious complications such as hypotension, internal hemorrhage from vital organs, loss of consciousness and maybe even death in severe cases.

The use of Xarelto has become very famous because of its very promising marketing claims that the drug promotes better and safer treatments than other well-known branded blood thinners in the market. The inaccuracy in the information, especially about the other possible side effects of Xarelto not being clearly stated and reported to the FDA, seem to be where the problem rooted from; this is why a lot of people are misled to its use and, in the long run, have suffered from its fatal effects. Another matter of fact is that the general public was not informed if there are antidotes that can be used to reverse the effects of the drugs in case adverse effects may be experienced by patients. Hence for those who have been severely affected by the drug are left with no other choice than to file a Xarelto lawsuit.

With the current documentation, there have been a total of 430 patients who have filed the Xarelto lawsuit to at least file for claims for the serious medical health conditions that the use of the drug has resulted into. Some of the worst cases that these complainants had to deal with is severe intestinal and rectal bleeding, intracranial hemorrhage and bleeding in the kidneys.

Another point of controversy dealing with the effects of Xarelto is that since it is an anticoagulant, It is supposed to prevent formation of clots; but in some cases, patients are complaining that the drug has been the recognized cause of the impeded blood supply due to clot formation. Moreover, in cases where the patients have been taking anticoagulant drugs, clots could not be surgically removed because of the great probability of uncontrolled hemorrhage even when a small and simple incision is made; and when bleeding becomes impossible to control, the patient may get into a coma because of the severe blood loss and may eventually die if the bleeding continues.
