What is Pradaxa?

Pradaxa (generic: dabigatran) is a prescription medication used by patients suffering from atrial fibrillation. Pradaxa is utilized to try and prevent strokes or severe blood clots in those patients. Pradaxa is in a class of blood thinners (anticoagulants) known as direct thrombin inhibitors. They operate by preventing the formation of blood clots in the body. Some common side effects of Pradaxa may include upset stomach, heartburn, nausea, discolored urine, coughing up blood, dizziness, or headaches among other potential side effects.

Pradaxa Heart Attack Risk

Pradaxa has recently been in the public eye due to reports that the drug may cause a significantly higher risk of heart attacks or heart disease than its counterparts. A report conducted by researchers Ken Uchino, MD and Adrian V. Hernandez, MD, suggest that Pradaxa carries as much as a 33% higher risk of heart attack or other heart disease complications than comparable drug warfarin.

Their conclusions are drawn from seven clinical trials which enlisted the data of more than thirty thousand patients taking Pradaxa, placebos, or other comparable drugs. According to the study, “the risk of heart attack or acute coronary syndrome is increased with Pradaxa compared with various control treatments including adjusted-dose warfarin or a placebo.”

Uchino and Hernandez’s study is not the first medical evaluation to shed light on Pradaxa’s potentially damaging side effects. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is currently investigating a large number of reports claiming severe bleeding associated with Pradaxa. Officials in both Australia and Japan have already released safety warnings regarding the dangers of Pradaxa. The European Medicines Agency (EMA) recommends that doctors monitor patient’s kidney function before prescribing Pradaxa.

The EMA’s action is just one more in a long line of post-release warnings related to potential dangers of Pradaxa. If you or a loved one has suffered from a heart attack which you believe was caused by the use of Pradaxa, you may be entitled to financial compensation through a Pradaxa Heart Attack Lawsuit. If you would like your potential Pradaxa heart attack lawsuit to be reviewed please fill out the form on this page, or call the listed number.

The recent studies conducted specifically about Pradaxa causing heart attacks discovered that there is a significantly higher risk of heart attacks and acute coronary syndrome (ACS) with the use of Pradaxa. This could potentially be a huge blow to Pradaxa manufacturer, Boehringer Ingelheim GmbH. Currently the blood thinner market is estimated to be worth approximately $9 billion per year worldwide.

Rival drugmakers Johnson & Johnson and Bayer AG produce another blood thinner, Xarelto and they will likely seek to capitalize on these revelations regarding their rival drug Pradaxa and heart attacks.

The study conducted by Uchino and Hernandez analyzed 20,000 patients taking Pradaxa, and of those, 237 had a heart attack or significant chest pains compared with only 83 of the remaining 10,500 patients taking either warfarin or a placebo.

Along with the increased competition from Johnson & Johnson and Bayer AG, pharmaceutical giants Pfizer and Bristol-Myers Squibb are seeking approval for their joint venture pill Eliquis. The market is becoming increasingly competitive, and the news about Pradaxa and heart attacks does not bode well for its longevity on the market.

Pradaxa Side Effects

Side effects of Pradaxa may include some or all of the following:

• stomach pain
• heartburn
• heavy menstrual bleeding
• bleeding from a cut that lasts longer than normal
• joint pain or swelling
• nausea
• unusual bruising or bleeding
• pink or brown urine
• red or black, tarry stools
• coughing up blood
• vomiting material that is bloody or looks like coffee grounds
• dizziness
• weakness
• bleeding from the gums
• frequent nosebleeds
• swelling of the arms, hands, feet, ankles, or lower legs
• headache
• hives
• rash
• itching
• difficulty breathing or swallowing

Pradaxa Heart Attack Lawsuit

If you or a loved one has suffered a heart attack shortly after or while taking Pradaxa, you may have grounds for a Pradaxa Heart Attack Lawsuit against the makers of Pradaxa. Research shows that there are a significant number of Pradaxa-related deaths, and those suffering may not be aware that it may have been caused by Pradaxa. If you believe that your loved one’s death may have been caused by Pradaxa, please contact a lawyer to see if you qualify for a Pradaxa Heart Attack Lawsuit in order to recover damages from the makers of Pradaxa.

What is Lexapro?

Lexapro, or escitalopram, is a type of medicine used for the treatment of depression, anxiety, and some other mental health conditions. Lexapro belongs to a class of antidepressants called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) that seek to remedy chemical imbalances in the brain regarding serotonin, a chemical that influences and stabilizes mood. A popular treatment option, Lexapro has been prescribed to over 18 million adults in the United States alone. Other popular SSRI antidepressants include: Zoloft, Paxil, Prozac, and Celexa.

FDA Lexapro Pregnancy Warning

The United States Food and Drug Administration classifies SSRI antidepressants as a “Category C” drug for pregnancy. “Category C” means that “studies…have revealed adverse effects on the fetus,” and it “should be given only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus.” On 7/19/2006, the FDA issued a warning regarding a recently conducted study that demonstrated that newborns who’s mothers took SSRIs (like Lexapro) during pregnancy were SIX times as likely to be born with Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension (PPHN) when compared with infants who’s mothers did not take an SSRI at any time during the term of their pregnancy. The FDA is currently reviewing further research regarding this link, and has requested that all SSRI labels now include this information.

Lexapro Pregnancy Birth Defects

In addition to Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension, taking an SSRI antidepressant during pregnancy has been associated with several other congenital birth defects as well. Paxil, another popular SSRI changed its label in 2005 to include information regarding an increased risk of cardiac problems to the baby when taken during the first trimester of fetal development. Other reported Birth Defects occurring after taking Lexapro, or other SSRI, during pregnancy include: Craniosynotosis, Neural Tube Defects, Autism Spectrum Disorders, Ebstein’s Anomaly, Limb Reductions, Club Foot/Bilateral Club Feet, Omphalocele, and several others.

A recent report filed by the Institute for Safe Medicine Practice (ISMP) claims that abnormally high numbers of Pradaxa complications have been present in test studies. The report claims that only a few weeks after being approved for use in October 2010, Pradaxa jumped near the top of the Institute for Safe Medicine Practice (ISMP) adverse event rankings in drugs.

The ISMP reports that there are more adverse Pradaxa complication reports than 98.7% of the other drugs that they study over the same period of time. Most of the adverse Pradaxa complications stemmed from Pradaxa’s anticoagulant properties. The report claims that there were cases where Pradaxa both inhibited blood clotting excessively which led to uncontrolled bleeding as well as not having enough clotting effect which allowed blood clots to continue to form in Pradaxa patients.

The Institute for Safe Medicine Practice (ISMP) focused their report on three main issues with Pradaxa: inhibiting blood clotting in the older populous who have heart problems which remains inherently risky, the rapid nature of Pradaxa’s release which has generated scores of adverse Pradaxa complication reports within weeks of Pradaxa’s approval, and finally that the drug was immediately put in to use on an off-label basis.

A mere 12 weeks after its approval in October 2010, Pradaxa was the suspect drug in more than 300 adverse event reports, which was more than 98.7% of the other drugs being monitored by the Institute for Safe Medicine Practice (ISMP) at that time. The drugs being monitored also included warfarin which Pradaxa is meant to replace. Pradaxa had 50% more adverse event reports than warfarin.

Pradaxa was approved in order to lower the risk of stroke in patients suffering from atrial fibrillation, a heart arrhythmia disorder located in the upper two pumping chambers in the heart. If those chambers stop working correctly, it can raise the risk of blood clot formation. If these blood clots reach the brain they can cause a stroke which can lead to serious injury or death.

The primary problem with warfarin was that it is supposed to be very difficult to dose. It is hard to determine the exact amount of the drug that a patient needs to prevent clots and not overly thin the blood. It requires frequent lab testing. Clinical trials showed that Pradaxa appeared to have a solution for that issue. However, a large clinical trial which compared Pradaxa and warfarin showed that Pradaxa did not lower the risk of bleeding.

Pradaxa Complications Lawsuit

If you have a loved one who has suffered a Pradaxa-related death, you may be entitled to financial compensation from the makers of Pradaxa, Boehringer Ingelheim. Numerous reports have arisen about the dangers of Pradaxa, and that it may cause uncontrolled bleeding among patients which has led to Pradaxa deaths.

Within its first year on the market there have been more than 260 reported Pradaxa deaths. We believe that number is far too high, and you may be entitled to compensation if you or a loved one has suffered from Pradaxa from:

• Internal Bleeding
• Cerebral Hemorrhaging
• Heart Attack
• Death

Please contact our law firm to speak with a lawyer to determine if you have a case against the makers of Pradaxa.

Pradaxa is a commonly taken anticoagulant (blood-thinner) around the world with billions in sales annually. It is manufactured by Boehringer Ingelheim, a private German drug maker. Recently evidence has surfaced which suggests that Pradaxa may have very serious side effects including internal bleeding and cerebral hemorrhaging.

Pradaxa has been seen as the more convenient alternative to decades-old anticoagulant warfarin, but recent studies show that Pradaxa may have far more dangerous side effects than warfarin. There are currently numerous Pradaxa lawsuits being filed across the nation. There is currently no Pradaxa FDA recall in effect, but there are studies taking a closer look at Pradaxa’s side effects.

Pradaxa Side Effects – Internal Bleeding

One of the serious and dangerous Pradaxa side effects that have been reported is internal bleeding among certain patients taking Pradaxa. Internal bleeding can be very serious and may even lead to death. If you or a loved one have suffered from internal bleeding which you believe may be caused by the use of Pradaxa, you may be entitled to financial compensation through a Pradaxa side effects lawsuit.

Some of the symptoms of internal bleeding may include:

• Lethargy
• Vomiting that resembles blood or looks like coffee grounds
• Pink or brown urine
• Bleeding from the gums
• Unusual bruising or bleeding
• Red or black tarry stools
• Coughing up blood
• Headaches
• Frequent nosebleeds
• Weakness and swelling of the arms, hands, feet, ankles or lower legs
• Joint pain or swelling
• Dizziness

Another serious potential Pradaxa side effect may be cerebral hemorrhaging. If you experience the symptoms for either internal bleeding or cerebral hemorrhaging you should contact a medical professional immediately.

Pradaxa Internal Bleeding Lawsuit

If you or a loved one have experienced internal bleeding or cerebral hemorrhaging that you believe may have been caused by Pradaxa, you may be entitled to compensation through a Pradaxa lawsuit against the makers of the drug. Currently there is no FDA Pradaxa recall in effect. Please contact our law firm for a free consultation to see whether you qualify for a Pradaxa lawsuit.

FDA Pregnancy Categories

The United States Food and Drug Administration uses a classification system in order to categorize prescription drugs according to their potential risks posed to a developing fetus if taken by an expectant mother during pregnancy. Currently Lexapro and many other SSRI antidepressants are in “Category C” which the FDA describes as following:

Lexapro Pregnancy Category C

Animal reproduction studies have shown an adverse effect on the fetus and there are no adequate and well-controlled studies in humans, but potential benefits may warrant use of the drug in pregnant women despite potential risks.

Paxil, another SSRI antidepressant medication was recently moved to the more severe “Category D” after adequate testing demonstrated a risk in human studies. Speculation suggests that soon all SSRI antidepressants will soon be class D.

What is Lexapro?

Lexapro is a kind of antidepressant medication called a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, or SSRI for short. SSRIs work by regulating the amount of serotonin in the brain; serotonin is believed to influence moods. In addition to Lexapro, other popular SSRI medications currently on the market include:

• Zoloft
• Paxil
• Celexa
• Prozac

Since 2002, Lexapro has been prescribed for the treatment of depression and anxiety in over 18,000,000 adult Americans. Sometimes Lexapro is also used for the treatment of teenagers 13-17. Because it is in FDA Pregnancy “Category C,” Lexapro can still be prescribed to female patients who are pregnant. However, research studies conducted by the New England Journal of Medicine and other medical journals suggest that taking Lexapro during pregnancy can result in a variety of terrible birth injuries to the children of these women.

Lexapro Pregnancy Birth Defects

Its classification in “Category C” means that Lexapro demonstrated risks to fetal development in animal studies, but medical case-studies also find a correlation between taking an SSRI during pregnancy and human birth defects as well. Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension and Congenital Heart Defects are some of the most frequently reported Lexapro Birth Defects. In July 2006, the FDA required SSRI medication labels (including Lexapro labels) to include a warning regarding increased risk of PPHN. Other potential Lexapro Birth Defects include club foot/bilateral club feet, Autism Spectrum Disorders, Limb Reductions, Cranial Skull Defects, and many others. In response to these birth defects, lawsuits have been filed by the mothers of children born with these defects against the pharmaceutical companies that make these medications.

Lexapro Pregnancy Birth Defects Warning

Lexapro, a popular SSRI antidepressant, has been prescribed to upwards of 18 million adults since its release in 2002. As an selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), Lexapro is believed to improve mood problems through treating chemical imbalances in the brain. However, medical studies conducted over the last several years suggest that when taken during pregnancy, Lexapro (and other SSRIs) can result in an elevated risk of an infant developing one or more congenital, meaning present at birth, defects. Because Lexapro can move through the placenta during fetal maturation, it is possible for the medication to negatively affect formation of an unborn child. In addition to Lexapro, other SSRIs that can potentially increase risk to an infant include: Zoloft, Celexa, Paxil, and Prozac.

FDA Lexapro Pregnancy Warning

In 2006, the United States Food and Drug Administration issued a safety alert regarding the use of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (including Lexapro) in the treatment of depression during pregnancy. Case studies compiled between the years of 1998-2003 found a correlation between SSRI use by pregnant women and the likelihood that the baby would be born with Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension (PPHN). The study suggested that SSRI use during pregnancy resulted increased the risk of PPHN to the infant six times, when compared against women who did not use an antidepressant at any time during their pregnancy. After this warning, the FDA required SSRIs to change their labels in order to include information about these heightened risks.

Lexapro Pregnancy Birth Defect Lawsuits

Because Lexapro taken during pregnancy has been linked to such a wide spectrum of severe birth injuries, many parents choose to file antidepressant lawsuits. In developing a medication, drug companies have a responsibility to fully investigate any and all potential adverse effects associated with their product. In the case of Lexapro, many women do not believe that they were adequately informed of these risks prior to beginning treatment. When this results in having a child born with severe birth defects, a Lexapro lawsuit is one method by which they can be financially reimbursed for the financial and emotional expenses associated with their situations.

In July of 2006, the United States Food and Drug Administration issued an alert that taking Lexapro (Escitalopram) while pregnant can result in an increased risk of Neonatal Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension. This alert was based on a case-control study performed by the New England Journal of Medicine which followed about 1200 women between the years of 1998-2003. The results of the study demonstrated that babies born to mothers who took SSRI antidepressants (including Lexapro) were six times more likely to have Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension(PPHN) than babies who were not exposed to SSRIs during gestation. Because the number of cases was fairly small, the study was unable to compare the risks between specific SSRIs and all of the following are associated with this risk:

• Lexapro
• Fluvoxamine
• Celexa
• Paxil
• Zoloft
• Symbyax
• Prozac

FDA Warning Regarding Taking Lexapro While Pregnant

Based on the information gathered from the New England Journal of Medicine study, the FDA has revised the prescribing information for Lexapro and other SSRIs to include this information. Furthermore, the FDA is also collecting data from other sources regarding to the potential association between SSRIs and neonatal PPHN. The FDA will provide additional information when it becomes available.

Lexapro FDA Pregnancy Category C

Currently the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) utilizes a category system organized by letters to classify the risks posed to a fetus when a medication is taken by the expectant mother during the course of her pregnancy. To date, Lexapro is in Pregnancy Category C, which means that it does demonstrate adverse side effects to the unborn child in animal studies, but that adequate human studies have not yet been performed or evaluated. Category C medications, like Lexapro, can still be prescribed to pregnant patients if the potential benefits to the mother outweigh the risks to the baby.

What is Lexapro?

Escitalopram, more commonly known by its brand name “Lexapro,” is one of many medications prescribed for the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD). Lexapro belongs to a category of antidepressants called SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors), along with the popular medications Zoloft, Prozac, Celexa, and Paxil. SSRIs are believed to affect moods by restoring chemical imbalances in the brain involving serotonin. At this point in time, over eighteen million adults in the US have been prescribed Lexapro; in some cases Lexapro is prescribed to adolescent patients too. Recently the safety of using SSRI medications like Lexapro during pregnancy has been called into question, and many researchers believe that doing so can result in severe side effects in the form of congenital defects to the developing fetus.

Can I take Lexapro During Pregnancy?

The United States Food and Drug Administration currently puts prescription drugs into various categories based on their perceived risk to the mother and developing child. The Pregnancy categories range from “A” (no harm to mother or fetus) to Catgory “X” (should not ever be taken during pregnancy). Lexapro and other SSRI antidepressants are in Category “C,” meaning that animal testing suggests harm to fetus, but adequate clinical research does not yet exist for humans. This means that currently, despite reliable postulation that Lexapro taken during pregnancy can cause side effects to a fetus, it can still be prescribed to pregnant women.

Types of Lexapro Pregnancy Side Effects

Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors are linked to an increased risk of many different harrowing birth defects including, but not limited to the following:

• Congenital Heart Defects
• Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension
• Abdominal Defect
• Cranial Skull Defects
• Neural Tube Defects
• Club Foot/Bilateral Club Feet

Lexapro Pregnancy Side Effect Lawsuits

Many of the side effects that can potentially occur when a woman takes Lexapro during any part of her pregnancy necessitate intensive and expensive neonatal care. Some require invasive surgical treatments, and a lifetime of careful monitoring by specialized medical professionals. Furthermore, having a child born with any, or a combination of these birth defects creates extreme emotional distress. Many female patients are not adequately warned of Lexapro Pregnancy Side Effects prior to conceiving a child. As a result hundreds of lawsuits have been filed against the pharmaceutical companies that make SSRI medications, like Lexapro.

What is Lexapro?

Lexapro, generic name Escitalopram, is a type of prescription antidepressant medication distributed by Forest Laboratories, Inc. Lexapro is in a class of antidepressants called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) that work by restoring chemical balances in the brain that are believed to affect mood. Other popular SSRI prescriptions include Paxil, Zoloft, Prozac, and Celexa. To date, Lexapro has been prescribed to somewhere over 18 million adults in the United States for the treatment of depression, anxiety, and several other conditions. Sometimes Lexapro is used in the treatment of adolescents as well.

Lexapro Birth Defects

Although Lexpro is used for the treatment of mood disorders, it has recently been the subject of several research projects which seek to establish a link between Lexapro taken during pregnancy and the following adverse birth effects. Lexapro (and other SSRI) use during the 1st trimester of pregnancy is associated with following increased risks of congenital defects: Omphalocele (6X), Anal atresia and limb reduction defects (4X), and Septal defects (2X). Other reported birth defects and congenital heart defects to children born to women that took Lexapro (and other associated SSRIs) during fetal development include, but are not limited to the following:

• Atrial or Ventricular Septal Defects (Holes in the Heart Wall)
• Heart Valve Defects
• Neural Tube Defects (including Spina Bifida)
• Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension (PPHN)
• Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS)
• Autism Spectrum Disorder
• Transposition of Great Arteries (TGA)
• Coarctation of the Aorta (CoA)
• Tetrology of Fallot (TOF)
• Pulmonary Valve Stenosis (PVS)
• Club Foot/Bilateral Club Feet
• Double Outlet Right Ventricle (DORV)
• Abdominal Defects (including Omphalocele)
• Cranial Skull Defects (Craniosynostosis)
• Ebsteins Anomaly
• Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA)
• Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Return (TAPVR)

Many of these conditions require surgery or hospitalization for treatment, while others require a lifetime of monitoring and care. The costs to a family dealing with any one or combination of these conditions includes not only financial costs, but also emotional and physical costs as well. For this reason, a Lexapro Pregnancy lawsuit is often a good method when seeking financial compensation for these types of suffering.

Patients who took the new anti-clotting drug Pradaxa, made by Boehringer Ingelheim, have a 33% higher risk of heart attack or severe symptoms of heart disease than do patients taking warfarin.

The finding, from Cleveland Clinic researchers Ken Uchino, MD, and Adrian V. Hernandez, MD, PhD, is based on data from seven clinical trials that enrolled 30,514 patients.

Pradaxa Side Effects

• Acute coronary syndrome
• Heart disease
• Uncontrolled bleeding
• Internal bleeding
• Bleeding in the brain
• Cerebral hemorrhaging
• Stroke
