Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Does Xarelto Cause Draining Of Clear Discharge From The Wounds?
My husband was recently placed on Xarelto and both legs started to weep profusely. Clear drainage. After 2 weeks he stopped taking it and the drainage stopped. He developed blot clots in a lung and had to be put on Heperin, then on Eliquis, and both legs are weeping again, alot; but nowhere near what they were on Xarelto. Since he had NO problem like this before Xarelto, so he have his Doc try other blood thinners? I didc find on the FDA website that Xarelto can cause wounds to weep.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Xarelto can help stop clots from forming and so can increase fluid drainage from the wound. It is a side effect of Xarelto. If the draining continue you should consult your doctor about this side effect.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
