Which Blood Thinner Is Better Than Xarelto?
I have been on 20 mg of xarelto since last Oct. My back and neck are killing me with pain and discomfort that has increased since I have been on this drug. I want to get off xeralto and switch to another blood thinner. I have AFIB. Which drug would you recommend? Thank you. B.

Hello,
have you tried panwarfin? It's a much older but equally efficient drug. It's much cheaper too! The only 'negative' thing about it is that you'll have to check your blood's INR every month or so to make sure it works as required and you'll have to watch your diet because certain foods may affect its efficacy.
Always consult your doctor before attempting any change in your regimen. Switching to panwarfin would require special attention by your doctor and appropriate testing.
Contact me if you'd like more information.
Kind Regards!
