Has anyone else experienced unusual side effects from Xarelto 20mg Tablets?
I was prescribed Xarelto 20mg Tablets to prevent blood clots due to atrial fibrillation. I've been taking it for about a month now, and while I understand it's meant to thin the blood, I've been noticing some side effects that I'm not sure are normal. I've been feeling unusually tired and weak, and I've had a persistent cough. I've also had some pain in my arms and legs, which is a bit concerning. I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced these symptoms or has any advice on what to do. My doctor didn't mention these specific side effects, but I want to be sure I'm not missing something important.
Be aware that Xarelto can interact with certain foods and other medications. I had to stop drinking grapefruit juice because it can increase the levels of the drug in your system. Always check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting any new supplement/medication or making significant changes to your diet.
Xarelto can cause some weird side effects, and fatigue is one of them. But if it's really bothering you, you should definitely talk to your doctor. You might need to adjust your dose or switch medications. Also, make sure you're not taking any other blood-thinning medications or supplements, as it can increase the risk of bleeding.
I've been on Xarelto for a few years now, and while I haven't had those exact symptoms, I did experience some unusual bruising at first. It freaked me out, but my doctor said it was normal. Just make sure to keep an eye on any signs of serious bleeding.
I switched from warfarin to Xarelto and the difference was night and day. No more constant blood tests. My only complaint is that it's expensive but worth it for the convenience and efficacy.
I had a similar experience with fatigue, but it turned out I was also low on iron. I would suggest getting a blood test to rule that out. Keep us updated.
I've been on Xarelto for a while now and I haven't had any issues with it. Make sure to take it at the same time every day and if you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, but don't double up on doses.
I had a minor fall and ended up with a huge bruise. I was freaking out, but my doctor said it's a known side effect. Just be careful and try to avoid falls or injuries while on this medication.
I wish I could tell you it gets better over time. My cousin was prescribed Xarelt for a DVT and he had to be hospitalized twice due to severe bleeding.
