Hi,

Fosamax has been prescribed to you for osteoporosis and it has mainly gastrointestinal side effects such as stomach pain, diarrhea, vomiting etc.

Xarelto is an anticoagulant and its major side effect is nasal and gum bleeding so you should be checking your bleeding time and INR at regular intervals while taking this medicine.

Flecainide Acetate which has been prescribed for atrial fibrillation has also gastrointestinal side effects.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
