Pradaxa is used to prevent strokes in people with a heart-rhythm disorder known as atrial fibrillation. According to a recent report from Bloomberg.com, internal bleeding is a potential Pradaxa side effect for which there is no readily available antidote. The FDA received reports of 542 deaths and 3,781 side-effect incidents tied to the drug in 2011. Bloomberg also reported that the Institute of Safe Medication Practices has found Pradaxa has generated more reports of injury or death than any of the 800 drugs it monitors.

According to Bloomberg, 150 Pradaxa lawsuits are now pending in a federal multidistrict litigation currently underway in U.S. District Court, Southern District of Illinois. All of the complaints allege plaintiffs suffered serious, life-threatening episodes of internal bleeding, and that the company sold the blood thinner despite knowing it could cause fatal bleeding in some patients.
