The blood-thinning, anti-stroke drug, also known as Rivaroxaban, has been at the centre of a long-running dispute about its safety and efficacy.<\/p>\n<p>Those who have come forward with problems say that they have suffered uncontrollable bleeding, with some left with serious injuries, and some fatalities reported as well. The companies are being accused of failing to properly warn about these side-effects, which has led to an alleged lack of warning from doctors prescribing the medication. They deny the allegations.<\/p>\n<p>In the past, Bayer has been accused of allegedly covering-up knowledge about the potentially dangerous side-effects. It\u2019s alleged that critical information had been withheld from medical authorities before the drug\u2019s approval. The alleged cover-ups have been strenuously denied as well.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How does the Xarelto compensation settlements affect the UK?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The Xarelto compensation settlements are for U.S. cases. It has to be noted that the two have different jurisdictions and standards, and the companies are maintaining their denial of liability.<\/p>\n<p>That being said, we see the news as a positive step forward in the wider fight for justice. We\u2019re also connected, and work with, American lawyers as well as lawyers in Europe.
