Is There Interaction Between Voltaren Gel And Xarelto?

default
Posted on Tue, 5 Jul 2016
Question: hi was wondering if I can use a muscle rub like voltaren emugel while on a blood thinner like xarelto? I take 20mg of xarelto 1x a day for the rest of my life due to the high risk of repeat blood clots.

I'm having really bad back pain to my menstrual cycle and heating pad and extra strength Tylenol are not helping at all.

Brief Answer:
no risk of interactions

Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

At the moment there are no known interactions between voltaren gel and xarelto.

Though voltaren tablets cannot be used with xarelto, topical voltaren is ok and does not interact.

They can safely be used together.

The combination pain killer codeine with tylenol or tramadol can also be used safely with xarelto

I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
