Brief Answer:
Side effect of Xeralto

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
muscle spasms are a common side effect of Xeralto. Since you are already taking Vicodine and muscle relaxers it is best to increase your intake of electrolyte rich fluids. You can take Garotade and plenty of fresh fruit juices for that.
In case the spasms are persistent then do consult your physician for a more suitable and well tolerated option for you.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
