What Causes Diarrhea After Taking Rivaroxaban And Pentasa?
Question: i am taking 20mg rivaroxaban and 2g pentasa daily and I have difficulty with very gassy abdomen and sometimes diarrhoea at night time. I have also lost weight (from 62kg down to 56kg). I also take 2.5 mg bisoprolol and 2.5 mg ramipril daily and 100 units of creon. Is there potential for interactions with this mix to explain my diarrhoea or should I be looking for some other explanation?
