Can Neurontin Be Taken Instead Of Xarelto Safely?
Question: I am talking the drug Xerelto daily. I experiencing nerve pain down my arm from some bone spurs in my neck and it's very painful. Could I safely take Neurontin to relieve the nerve pain while taking Xerelto?
Brief Answer:
Yes
Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome.
Yes these can be used together, but you can also use some other painkillers such as oxycodone, diclofenac or tramadol. Also, I am not sure if such pain is caused by Xerelto since pain in extremities and neck is very rare side effect of it. So you should be sure that Xerelto is causing it and if there is no improvement then it should be stopped and another blood thinner should be used.
Wish you good health. Regards
