The drug Xarelto is an anticoagulant that has emerged as a popular option for medically treating patients at risk for blood clots, thrombosis or a stroke. It was popular because, unlike anticoagulants like Warfarin, routine monitoring was unnecessary.

In March 2013, the FDA turned down the drug as a potential method by which to treat against the risk of heart attack because of the potential for internal bleeding. With medications like Warfarin, if there is monitored internal bleeding, a physician can administer clotting factor II; VII; IX or X to halt the bleeding. There is no such clotting factor for the dangerous drug Xarelto.

Dangerous Xarelto side effects include:

• Brain Hemorrhage
• Abdominal bleeding
• Reduced platelet levels
• Abnormal liver function

If a friend or loved one has experienced any of the serious side effects from Xarelto, you may be eligible to file a claim for compensation.
