What Causes Excessive Sleepiness While On Xarelto?
Yes, thank you. I have been on Xarelto now about a month for a blood clot in my leg following knee replacement surgery. Does Xarelto make a person sleepy? I sure seem to nap a lot now. Also, is it possible that I could have a glass of wine or beer (or whatever in moderation) as long as I m taking the medication? Thank you.
As per your history at present you are taking Xarelto which contains (rivaroxaban) and this is a (Anticoagulants, Antiplatelets & Fibrinolytics Thrombolytics) class of drug and it is given for blood clots .It does not make a person sleepy at all.For wine you can take but do not discontinue medication at all till you are ok.Thanks
