Is It Safe To Use Xarelto Or Plavix?
Which is better Xarelto or Plavix? From what I understand, Xarelto has many lawsuits, but my doctor prescribes it for me. I take 20mg daily and confess I m afraid to take it. I am not sure whether it is best to take it in the morning or in the evening? Please advise me what to do.Thank you.Blanca Perez YYYY@YYYY

Hello,
Xarelto and plavix are different drugs with different indications. Xarelto is indicated in deep vein thrombosis, atrial fibrillation, orthopedic operations and pulmonary embolism. Plavix is indicated in vascular conditions like coronary artery disease, stroke and peripheral disease. Since you haven't mentioned the reason it has been prescribed to you, I can't tell what we I understand be better for you.
Contact me again if you'd like me tree information.
Kind regards!
