What Causes Cough While On Xarelto?

i am 62 , male and have taken Xorelto for clotting for several years. I have had a minor but irritating cough with tickling in my upper chest for about a year. I also suffer from seasonal allergies, but the time of year does not seem to matter with regard to the cough. Is the cough possibly related to Xorelto?

Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Xeralto is having rivaroxaban.
It is not having any side effect of coughing.
So we should definitely evaluate your coughing.
You are having allergy so possibility of allergic bronchitis is more for your chronic cough.
So consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).
You may need inhaled bronchodilators (formoterol or salmeterol) and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) (budesonide or fluticasone).
Oral combination of antihistamine (levocetrizine or fexofenadine) and anti allergic (montelukast) once a day at night is also beneficial.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
