What Causes Swelling On The Feet While On Xarelto?
Mother in law on Xeralto. Her feet swell and they are spekled with a red looking rash . Her PCP is calling it cellulitus, but I am a RN and it does not look like any cellulitis I have ever seen. She also takes lasix and Multaq. Her feet swell very much, not her legs, just her feet.... opinion please

Hi,
You may want to consider taking her to a dermatologist for a second opinion.
There are a number of different causes for a rash affecting the feet, cellulitis does not commonly affect both lower limbs at a time so other causes should be considered.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
