I am mostly interested in negative interactions between cancer medicines and blood thinners. Since a friend told me there are negative interactions, I ask specifically about Mekinist and Xarelto, but should have probably asked about Traflanar and Eloquis as well. Thank you for your replies.

Hello,

Unfortunately, there is a major interaction between eliquis with blood thinners and Xarelto which may cause major bleeding that might be serious.

Sorry the drug name is spelled Taflinar. So reactions between Taflinar and Xarelto or Eloquis and Mekinist vs Xarelto or Eloquis. Thank you.
