Pradaxa-0517-FandHLaw.jpegA study published by CBS News finds Pradaxa users at a 33% higher risk of developing heart disease or heart attack when compared to warfarin users. An editorial accompanying this study notes this isn’t the first safety warning issued for the anti-clotting drug Pradaxa.

According to the article, the FDA is investigating an abnormally large number of reports of serious bleeding associated with Pradaxa. This is in addition to research finding patients taking the blood-thinning medication at a 33% higher risk of developing adverse coronary effects.

 

"The risk of acute coronary syndrome is increased with [Pradaxa] compared with various control treatments, which include adjusted-dose warfarin," claims Cleveland Clinic researcher Ken Uchino, MD.
