When your doctor prescribes medication, you expect to find relief from symptoms you are facing. The last thing you expect is to feel worse, or even get more problems than you started out with. After all, the government checks out medications, making sure they are safe and effective, right? Unfortunately, with the vast amount of prescription and over-the-counter drugs on the market today, not everything is as safe as you would hope. An example of this is the anti-coagulant drug Pradaxa.
Tops the MedWatch List
MedWatch is a reporting arm of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that allows consumers to report adverse effects of the medication they are taking. A review of such reports in June, 2012 revealed that Pradaxa topped the list for drug-related internal bleeding deaths in the United States. Such alarming statistics should set off a few red flags, but the FDA continues to allow the drug to be prescribed and dispensed, while it is under review for safety. In fact, the FDA states that they still have confidence in Pradaxa as an effective anti-coagulant medication.
Legal Help
While reporting to the government’s MedWatch site may be a reasonable first step for those dealing with side effects that may be related to Pradaxa, doing so will not provide any legal or financial recourse. At the moment, the FDA is simply collecting data without providing any options for those who are suffering.
If you or are someone you love is suffering from Pradaxa related side effects, or if you know of someone who has died from internal bleeding while taking Pradaxa, you understand the fear, anger, and frustration that comes. Rather than waiting for the FDA to take action, many people are making the choice to find legal help.
Defective Drug Lawsuits
Filing a lawsuit against a prescription drug company is serious business. Such companies have powerful attorneys at their disposal, protecting their interests.
