What Causes Blood Clot In The Lung While On Xarelto?
I was prescribed xerelto 6 months ago for a blood clot in my lung. I was told I would only have to take this for 6 months. now doctor is saying I should take it indefinitely. I am concerned with the side effects and dangers that I ve heard about this med. doc even said it was a dangerous drug. would there be a better more safe alternative than this drug?
For the blood clot whatever drug you take may have the same side effects but with the time it does not affects much and no need to worry about this. Only thing is the diagnosis need to be final if not risk of formation of clot is there then Xarelto can be stopped.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
