A member asked:

What do you suggest if my wife developed renal failure after being on pradaxa after her cardeolgist insisted she take the medicine?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

More to this story?: Pradaxa isn't known to cause renal injury. Why was an anticoagulant advised? There must be other factors at play here.
