Having Problems With Pradaxa
UpdatedSince I started with this drug, over a year ago, I have had diarrhea. Now I am having stomach pains. A stool sample showed hidden blood. I am being prepared for a colonoscopy. I feel this med is the culprit, even though cardio says he doesn't think so. I am going to ask for a different med. See if I can get this under control.

Hello, Barb! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem that you're having.
According to the side effects listed by the FDA, Pradaxa has been known to cause blood in the stool of some people that take it, along with bleaching, indigestion, heart burn and burning throat. Thus, it very well could be due to this medication, it's actually listed as being a fairly common side effect.
Is there anything else I can help with?
THANKS FOR THE REPLY. I HAVE SINCE FOUND THAT THERE WAS A $360,000,000.00 SETTLEMENT AWARDED LAST MAY BECAUSE OF ALL THE DAMAGES THIS DRUG HAS CAUSED. I AM WAITING FOR A REPLY FROM MY CARDIO. I WANT TO KNOW WHY HE PRESCRIBED A MED THAT, WHEN YOU START BLEEDING FROM TAKING IT THERE IS NO WAY TO STOP THE BLEEDING! PRADAXA MAKERS KNEW THIS ALL ALONG AND NEVER REVEALED IT. CARDIO KNEW ABOUT POTENTIAL PROBLEMS BUT NEVER MENTIONED THEM. I AM MORE THAN A LITTLE UPSET!
Instead of bleaching, my prior post should have said belching, no idea why autocorrect had to change it, my apologies.
And I really hope things work out well for you. Please keep me updated!
