Xarelto


What is Xarelto?

Xarelto or Rivaroxaban is an anticoagulant (blood thinner) that prevents the formation of blood clots. It is normally used to treat atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat), deep vein thrombosis (blood clot in the leg), pulmonary embolism (blood clot in the lung), or used after a knee replacement or hip replacement surgery.

Xarelto does not have a counteracting drug to reverse its effects, thus, increasing the risk of injury from side effects.

What are the side effects of Xarelto?

Xarelto causes bleeding.

Bleeding out may occur internally causing stroke, hemorrhaging, or hematoma.

For many individuals the blood loss is uncontrollable requiring one or multiple blood transfusions. Other individuals have required hospitalization because of the bleeding. These individuals go through many tests to figure out the cause of the bleeding.

Many individuals don’t notice the blood loss but feel weak and tired. After seeing a doctor and having blood tests, the doctor determines that their hemoglobin levels are low.
