signifacant stomach problems,diariahee,aches in the joints and most distrubing is loss of hearing

I have been on the drug for a week and half and so far I am doing ok

The medication was given to me after I had Ablation surgery on my heart. It caused serious side effects including severe pain in my stomach and chest when I took a deep breath. Also had minor rectal bleeding. Went back to using Coumadin and the side effects went away.

Have been on it since it was approved by the FDA. No problems. Just wish that I could put it in my pill dispenser with my other meds but with the sealed package, it is too large. I travel a lot and not having to monitor it is good.

product works great but gave me a side effect of severe skin burning (flushing), was directed to gabepentin to counter the pain... Now everything is awesome! Works great... Thank you for getting me off of Warfarin...

very satisfied with this drug

I have written before and can tell those who are having trouble with the stomach, gastro, etc. that if you eat food before you take it and a little after that it has all but stopped those symptoms for me.

I assume the drug is working but it upsets my stomach with each dose to the point that I unconsciously walk around with my hand on my upper abdomen. Also have diahhrea and bad heartburn. Am waiting to have another ablation so will continue to take it until then. I dearly hope I can quit after the procedure. It's said to be a wonderful alternative to coumadin but I've not had to deal with coumadin which sounds like quite an ordeal. I was told to take a Pepcid Complete with each dose but notice another reviewer was advised that interferes with the drug.

I have not felt very well on this drug. Have similiar side effects that others describe. Bleeding episodes, joint pain, stomach pain, bloating, blurred vision,sound sensistive, frequent urination,light headed, etc. Nightmare time! Had a stroke in 2009 and must take a blood thinner. See the doctor in a few days to review my problems with Pradaxa. Take 150 mg. 2x a day. I was on warfarin. Was not much better. In prayer, for all of you that take these medicines. God help us all.

Switched to Pradaxa from Warfarin to lower blood clot chances from Afib. Glad to not have to do blood testing any more. Have not had the stomach issues/heartburn that some had reported. So far so good !!

have no side effects,best thing is can eat green veg. again, and no more blood tests.

Was on warfarin for 9 mos. then changed to pradaxa to avoid bi-monthly INRs. But have had all the reported side effects; sudden sharp pains here and there; severe upper back pain just from walking; blurry vision; depression and lack of motivation; heartburn, so am now trying to get back on warfarin--at least I could live a little bit.
