What Causes Weight Gain While On Xarelto?
I have been on Xarelto since July 2017, I have gained 30 pounds since then. Most of it fluid retention. I just had a stent placed in my left common iliac vein two days ago, a venoplasty in my right arm 3 weeks ago, and in July 2017 I had a stent placed in my left Subclavian vein. Can I go tanning in a tanning bed. ?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Yes, I have been giving Xarelto medicine to my patient for 3 weeks now, and his body did not react well to it.
He retained so much water in his stomach and legs. So, I changed it to Coumarin drug.
Please consult your physician for further examination and treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
