An experienced Pennsylvania Pradaxa lawsuit lawyer is here to help injured patients. Pradaxa is an anti-clotting drug used to reduce the risk of stroke from blood clots in individuals with atrial fibrillation. Pradaxa is considered a blood thinner or anticoagulant. Atrial fibrillation, or a-fib, occurs when the electric signals that cause the heart to pump blood or contract become irregular. The atria are the two upper chambers of the heart. When the heart pumps blood irregularly, it can cause blood to pool in the atria. The pooled blood can clot, which can block arteries and veins causing heart attack or stroke.
