The blood thinner Pradaxa (dabigatran etexilate mesylate) has been associated with severe, and sometimes deadly, instances of internal bleeding and hemorrhaging, especially in elderly patients and those with kidney disorders. Boehringer Ingelheim, the maker of Pradaxa, has marketed the drug as an improvement over warfarin, a decades-old blood thinner sold under the brand name Coumadin. Unlike warfarin, however, there is no known antidote to Pradaxa bleeding. As a result, even minor trauma can cause Pradaxa patients to suffer uncontrollable, life-threatening internal hemorrhaging. In November 2010, Boehringer Ingelheim acknowledged that it had received reports of 260 deaths associated with Pradaxa bleeding.

The leading law firm of Alonso Krangle LLP is currently investigating potential lawsuit claims on behalf of individuals who suffered serious incidents of Pradaxa bleeding or hemorrhaging. Many Pradaxa victims or their loved ones have already filed Pradaxa bleeding lawsuits alleging Boehringer Ingelheim failed to adequately warn of serious Pradaxa side effects, including

  • Cerebral Hemorrhage, or Brain Bleeds
  • Gastrointestinal Bleeding, or Stomach Bleeds
  • Rectal Bleeding
  • Kidney Bleeding
  • Heart Attack
  • Stroke
  • Death from Serious Internal Bleeding

Alonso Krangle LLP is offering free lawsuit evaluations to all Pradaxa bleeding victims, or their survivors. If you or someone you love suffered dangerous internal bleeding or hemorrhaging while taking Pradaxa, please contact the defective drug lawyers at Alonso Krangle LLP today to learn more about the legal options available to you.

Pradaxa Bleeding Lawsuits

Pradaxa was approved by the U.S. Food Drug Administration (FDA) in October 2010 to reduce the risk of stroke and systemic embolism in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation. Pradaxa was the first of a new class of blood thinners called direct thrombin inhibitor anticoagulants. These drugs are supposed to offer advantages over warfarin, which requires that patients submit to frequent blood draws to monitor its blood thinning effects. As is the case with all blood thinners, internal bleeding is a potential Pradaxa side effect. However, while warfarin bleeding can be stopped with the administration of vitamin K, there is no readily available antidote to Pradaxa bleeding. The only known way to stop Pradaxa bleeding is emergency dialysis, something that many doctors say is impractical, as it may not work quickly enough to stop a dangerous episode of Pradaxa bleeding.

In December 2011, the FDA announced it had launched a safety review of Pradaxa to investigate reports of internal bleeding and internal hemorrhaging among Pradaxa patients. The FDA announcement followed Boehringer Ingelheim’s acknowledgement of 260 Pradaxa-related deaths, as well as investigations into Pradaxa bleeding deaths in Japan and Europe. Since then, the Institute for Safe Medication Practices has reported that Pradaxa accounted for over 3000 serious adverse event reports made to the FDA in 2011, including over 500 patient deaths.

The FDA has warned physicians not to prescribe Pradaxa to patients with poor kidney function. In these patients, Pradaxa may build up in the bloodstream to unsafe levels, inhibiting the body’s ability to cause blood to clot should hemorrhaging or bleeding occur. In Europe, doctors have been advised to test patients’ kidney functions to reduce chances of bleeding complications prior to initiating a regimen of Pradaxa. In May 2012, a case study published in the Journal of Neurosurgery raised concerns that the elderly may be especially vulnerable to Pradaxa bleeding. The article detailed the death of an 83-year-old Pradaxa patient from uncontrollable brain hemorrhaging following a minor fall. It has been reported that the elderly have a higher risk of suffering a severe Pradaxa bleeding episode because they are more likely to suffer balance problems that can cause such falls.

Dave Krangle Worked Restlessly On This Case Until We Won
I consider David Krangle as my attorney for many years now. Going back about 13 years ago my father was involved in a hit and run accident. David had gone the extra mile to win our case….. Mr. David Krangle worked restlessly on this case until we won the case. Since then, if anybody asks for a good attorney I recommend David Krangle with confidence. He has helped a number of my friends and relatives and they all appreciated his professionalism, prompt responses to any inquiry during case development, careful study of all details pertaining to their case. He treats his clients as family. Thank you, Mr. Krangle, wishing you a continued success, good health and prosperity.

Absolutely Instrumental in Helping Me Expose Medicare Fraud That My Former Employer Was Engaging In
When you have to fight Goliath you better call David. Dave was absolutely instrumental in helping me expose Medicare fraud that my former employer (one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world) was engaging in. Dave took the time to listen to my concerns and my evidence. He worked tirelessly to bring the best resources to table so that our case would be investigated thoroughly and prosecuted. In the end, the Goliath was defeated thanks to Dave!

Like To Express My Appreciation To You And Your Firm
I just would like to express my appreciation to you and your firm for assisting me with this matter. I am now a single mother of six children and I have been going through so much financial strife. I did not know how I would get school supplies for my children so I have been working two jobs to try to gain some extra funds. This is a blessing to me and my children. Thank you again for all you guys have done for us.

They Treated Me Like I Was Family
I wanted to thank Alonso Krangle for helping me with my case. Not only were they able to get me much needed compensation for my injuries, but they kept in contact with me and explained every step of the process. They treated me like I was family.

We were very fortunate to meet David Krangle
My husband and myself had been involved in a multiple vehicle accident 5 years ago. At that time we were given the name of Mr. David Krangle, attorney. It took close to 5 years of very diligent work for Mr Krangle to complete our case to everyone’s satisfaction. During those years of endless hours and hours of work that he put into our case yet whenever we reached out to Dave (as the years allowed us to call him) he was always available to us. His patience did seem endless. His professionalism in researching everything to make our turnout perfect for us was everything we expected and let us rest knowing things are following the right path. I know we were treated with the utmost respect from various insurance companies and other attorney’s because that was something Mr Krangle made sure of. In difficult times it can be intimidating to work with a professional but we were very fortunate to meet David Krangle who had the ability to share warmth and compassion with us during a trying time. Those are traits that we admired in David Krangle and are delighted to have worked with him.

Strongly Recommend Alonso Krangle As a Highly Experienced And Respected Firm

I consulted a close friend and well respected lawyer in the mid-Atlantic region regarding my hip revision surgery due to a medical device recall. Without hesitation, he strongly recommended contacting Alonso Krangle LLP to discuss my case. In his view, Alonso Krangle possessed extensive knowledge and experience in the type of litigation my case required, as well the respect of those throughout the judicial field for their professionalism. Equally as important, their personal focus on each individual’s case gives the client a feeling they are their only concern. My friend’s assessment could not have been more accurate.

Although in New York, Alonso Krangle could not have been more responsive or accommodating if they were located here in Virginia. I cannot recall a single time when my wife or I called their office and did not speak to either Andres Alonso or David Krangle. They were always completely available and ready to answer any and all of our questions. Their advice and recommendations were always honest, sincere, and accurate enabling us to plan accordingly. Legal proceedings can be a long process, but we never felt left out or forgotten thanks to timely updates initiated by Alonso Krangle. In the end, everything turned out as Alonso Krangle estimated from the beginning. I could not have expected better personal attention or concern from a family member handling my case. As with my friend, I too, would not hesitate to strongly recommend Alonso Krangle as a highly experienced and respected firm that will treat you like family.

You’ll be in good hands!

I was involved in an accident and needed a good Personal Injury Attorney. A friend referred me to David Krangle of Alonso Krangle LLP. After my initial phone conversation with David, I was confident that I found the right Attorney. David was not only extremely thorough, he kept me updated on every stage of my case. Most importantly, he was always available for questions and followed-up promptly. In most cases, the same day. Since there was a 3-hour time zone difference, I was very appreciative from a client stand point.

With his expertise and guidance, I had a successful outcome. I felt very fortunate that David and his wonderful staff represented me.

If you ever find yourself in need of expert legal advice and guidance. I highly recommend you contact David Krangle of Alonso Krangle LLP. You’ll be in good hands!
