Eliquis Lawsuit
The Strom Law Firm, L.L.C. is currentlyย investigating and evaluating cases on behalf of individuals who have suffered serious side effectsย of Eliquis. Several patients filed lawsuits alleging thatย Eliquis (apixaban), an anti-stroke medication, puts patients at risk for irreversible and life-threatening internal bleeding. Similar to previous class action cases we have handled,ย Pradaxa and Xarelto, Eliquis ย was approved without a reversal mechanism.
If an Eliquis patient suffers aย bleeding event, there may be no way to deactivate the medication, and allow the blood to clot. ย As a result, patients are at risk for severe internal bleeding and death. Give us a call today for a free consultation with our Eliquis Lawyers at 803.252.4800.
Eliquis Side Effects: Drug Can Cause Severeย Internal Bleeding
Unlike otherย anticoagulants where Vitamin K can reverse the effects, the makers of Eliquisย did notย develop an antidote to reverse the drugโs blood-thinning effects. As a result, several patients allege thatย doctors are unable to properly treat Eliquis patients during serious bleeding events including an unplanned surgery or internal bleeding resulting from an injury. The most common side effects suffered by Eliquis patients include:
- Gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding, or bleeding in the digestive tract,
- Rectal bleeding
- Kidney bleeding
- Cerebral hemorrhage, or bleed in the brain tissue, andย even
- Death
