Is Xarelto A Safe Medicine To Take?

I have been taking xerelto for two years - no problems - but I am constantly alarmed by tv commercials from lawyers saying how dangerous it is. Do you think I would have had problems by now if I were going to do so - and are there any warnings that it might be dangerous to you?

Hello thanks for asking from HCM for your health related doubts

I can understand your concern. Xarelto is Rivaroxaban and the drug is an anticoagulant drug. The drug is a newer drug and safe to use if used with proper supervision of a doctor. The drug is associated with liver toxicity so should be used with caution in patients with pre-existing liver disease. The drug is associated with serious side effect of uncontrollable bleeding and there is no specific antidote. But if you are taking with drug with proper prescription then no risk and the drug is safe. ;)

Thanks, Hope this helps you.

Take care
