On Xarelto. If Stopped Will It Increase Risk Of Blood Clotting?
XARELTO lowers your chance of having a stroke by helping to prevent clots from forming. If you stop taking XARELTO, you may have increased risk of forming a clot in your blood.
If you stop taking it does the risk remain the same as if you never took it at all or is there actually an new risk because you stopped taking it.

Hi
Thanks for the query
Xarelto is Rivaroxaban which is an anti coagulant, prevents formation of clots.
If your doctor has prescribed this medicine to you, then obviously you are at some risk of developing clots.
If u stop taking this medicine the risk of clot development will be there positively but yes , the risk will be same as before when you were not taking the medicine no newer risk will develop.
regards
