Is Xarelto A Clot Buster Drug?

can you advise if xarelto is a clot buster - I have been diagnosed as having a clot in my jugular by my clavical and was advised that xarelto was a clot buster, I had an ultra sound and a CT scan in October to confirm there was a clot, the Dr put me on the medication and advised it was a clot buster, I recently had another CT scan hoping the clot was dissolved only to be told there had been no change. I am hesitant on being on this drug for a lengthy period of time as it has been renewed for another three months.

Hello,

Xarelto doesnt dissolve the clot. It helps to prevent further clots from forming and also clot propagation.

Hope I have answered your query.

Take care
