Get help from a Xarelto lawyer in Nevada today
Are you a resident of Nevada that has suffered a serious bleeding event or serious trauma as a result of the drug Xarelto? Xarelto is designed to block a chemical in the brain called thrombin, which causes the blood to clot. Xarelto is also made to help treat patients with deep vein thrombosis (DVT), atrial fibrillation, and pulmonary embolism (a blockage in the lungs). Xarelto has contributed to people suffering massive bleeding in the brain and other parts of the body. Since the drug is a blood thinner, it can sometimes be difficult to stop the bleeding and has led to serious injury and death.
Unfortunately, there have been many people in the state of Nevada that have been seriously harmed after taking Xarelto. Some of the most common side effects of Xarelto that have been reported include:
- pulmonary embolism
- deep vein thrombosis
- gastrointestinal hemorrhage and hemorrhage
- brain hemorrhaging
- cerebrovascular incidents
- hematoma
- edema
- dyspnea
- hemoglobin
- death
