Pradaxa Dangers

[zenwalk]

You may want to reconsider Pradaxa and go back to Warfarin for a blood thinner. . Bleeding out is a real threat.

Unlike warfarin, an older drug, there is no antidote to reverse the blood-thinning effects of Pradaxa.

“You feel helpless,” Dr. Cotton said. The drug has contributed to the bleeding deaths of at least eight patients at the hospital. “And that’s a very bad feeling for us.”

Pradaxa has become a blockbuster drug in its two years on the market, bringing in more than $1 billion in sales for its maker, the privately held German drug maker Boehringer Ingelheim.

This is like mercy killing. There are many health problems, one is insomnia. Getting out of bed early may require some work, but in no time, you'll be a specialist early riser. Maybe you will be needing a therapist to recover from this state.

You could sleep like Rip Van Winkle and still not thin your blood.
