Hi There
Xarelto is an anticoagulant used in patients having DVT ,Pulmonary Embolism and non valvular atrial Fibrilataion (rhythm disorder).
Half life of xarelto is 5-9 hours depends on the age. Patient can have pains , lethargy as a side effect and a Tramadol can be given SOS.
It depends on the patient if he has DVT then some other set of medication will be given for the claudication management.
I would like to know detailed medical history of your patient so that I can help you with. Get back to me with details.
Good Luck
