Although the U.S. FDA approved Xarelto in 2011, many patients have experienced liver injuries and uncontrolled bleeding, resulting in severe damage and even death in some cases. In August, 2015, Canadian regulators announced an official investigation into numerous reports of liver injuries due to Xarelto use. The report states, “This issue was identified after two publications in the scientific literature described liver injury linked to the use of XARELTO in a total of 16 patients.” Canada is not far behind the U.S. in its assessment of the health risks associated with Xarelto use.
