Side Effects of Pradaxa® (Dabigatran Etexilate)
Every medication carries risks for certain side effects, some more severe than others. Patients should be fully aware of the side effect that are associated with the drugs they are given, especially when they are life threatening.
The more severe and dangerous side effects of Pradaxa® (dabigatran etexilate) are:
- Severe internal bleeding that can lead to death
- Heart attack
- Severe symptoms of heart disease
It is no secret that anticoagulant medications increase a patient's risk for internal bleeding. But, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Pradaxa® might put patients at a greater than expected risk. Because of this, the agency said it will be evaluating reports of Pradaxa®-related bleeding events to determine whether they are occurring at a higher than expected rate.
Results from a recent study also showed that Pradaxa® (dabigatran) carries a 33 percent higher risk for heart attack and symptoms of heart disease than its competitor, warfarin (Coumadin®).

Patients that have been given Pradaxa® and who have suffered heart complications or internal bleeding may be eligible to file a Pradaxa® lawsuit.
