We also established why the risk is even higher with the elderly, so we are going to try and expand this subject and see in what other conditions is best and safe to avoid the use of Pradaxa.
We are going to start by discussing about the safety information posted on www.pradaxa.com.
As expected, patients are not recommended to take pradaxa if they have abnormal bleeding or an allergic reaction to it. Furthermore, we are warned that the risk of bleeding is higher for people with the age of 75 or above or for people with kidney problems.
As any other drug, Pradaxa is eliminated through the kidneys, so if they are unable to excrete it, that may lead to high levels of the drug stuck in the system.
Pradaxa is not also recommended for those with stomach ulcer or intestine bleeding, nor is it advised to take Pradaxa along with other drugs and products known for their blood thinning properties such as aspirin products or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs . To sum it all up, try to avoid Pradaxa if you :
- are 75 or older
- have kidney problems and especially if you take drugs for that.
- have stomach ulcer or intestine bleeding
- are currently taking other blood thinners or products known to have such attributes.
A simple detail like that may make the difference later.
And don't forget if you failed to get good advice from your doctor, you may seek advice with a Pradaxa attorney and get compensation.
