Inform patients that it might take them longer than usual to stop bleeding, and that they may bruise and/or bleed more easily when they are treated with XARELTO [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] .

If patients have had neuraxial anesthesia or spinal puncture, and particularly, if they are taking concomitant NSAIDs or platelet inhibitors, advise patients to watch for signs and symptoms of spinal or epidural hematoma, such as back pain, tingling, numbness (especially in the lower limbs), muscle weakness, and stool or urine incontinence. If any of these symptoms occur, advise the patient to contact his or her physician immediately [see Boxed Warning ] . Invasive or Surgical Procedures Instruct patients to inform their healthcare professional that they are taking XARELTO before any invasive procedure (including dental procedures) is scheduled.

Concomitant Medication and Herbals Advise patients to inform their physicians and dentists if they are taking, or plan to take, any prescription or over-the-counter drugs or herbals, so their healthcare professionals can evaluate potential interactions [see Drug Interactions (7) ] . Pregnancy and Pregnancy-Related Hemorrhage Advise patients to inform their physician immediately if they become pregnant or in…

MEDICATION GUIDE XARELTO ® (zah-REL-toe) (rivaroxaban) tablets XARELTO ® (zah-REL-toe) (rivaroxaban) oral suspension This Medication Guide has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration Revised: 06/2025 What is the most important information I should know about XARELTO? XARELTO may cause serious side effects, including: Increased risk of blood clots if you stop taking XARELTO.

People with atrial fibrillation (a type of irregular heart beat) that is not caused by a heart valve problem (non-valvular) are at an increased risk of forming a blood clot in the heart, which can travel to the brain, causing a stroke, or to other parts of the body. XARELTO lowers your chance of having a stroke by helping to prevent clots from forming. If you stop taking XARELTO, you may have increased risk of forming a clot in your blood.

Do not stop taking XARELTO without talking to the doctor who prescribes it for you. Stopping XARELTO increases your risk of having a stroke. If you have to stop taking XARELTO, your doctor may prescribe another blood thinner medicine to prevent a blood clot from forming.

Increased risk of bleeding. XARELTO can cause bleeding which can be serious and may lead to death. This is because XARELTO is a blood thinner medicine (anticoagulant) that lowers blood clotting.

During treatment with XARELTO you are likely to bruise more easily, and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. You may have a higher risk of bleeding if you take XARELTO and have certain other medical problems. You may have a higher risk of bleeding if you take XARELTO and take other medicines that increase your risk of bleeding, including: aspirin or aspirin containing products long-term (chronic) use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) warfarin sodium (Coumadin ® , Jantoven ® ) any medicine that contains heparin clopidogrel (Plavix ® ) selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) or serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) other medicines to prevent or treat blood clots Tell your doctor if you take any of these medicines.

Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure if your medicine is one listed above. Call your doctor or get medical help right away if you or your child develop any of these signs or symptoms of bleeding: unexpected bleeding or bleeding that lasts a long time, such as: nose bleeds that happen often unusual bleeding from the gums menstrual bleeding that is heavier than normal or vaginal bleeding bleeding that is severe or you cannot control red, pink or brown urine bright red or black stools (looks like tar) cough up blood or blood clots vomit blood or your vomit looks like "coffee grounds" headaches, feeling dizzy or weak pain, swelling, or new drainage at wound sites left upper belly (abdominal) pain, pain below the left rib cage or at the tip of your left shoulder or diffuse abdominal discomfort (these may be symptoms of rupture of the spleen) Spinal or epidural blood clots (hematoma).

People who take a blood thinner medicine (anticoagulant) like XARELTO, and have medicine injected into their spinal and epidural area, or have a spinal puncture have a risk of forming a blood clot that can cause long-term or permanent loss of the ability to move (paralysis). Your risk of developing a spinal or epidural blood clot is higher if: a thin tube called an epidural catheter is placed in your back to give you certain medicine you take NSAIDs or a medicine to prevent blood from clotting you have a history of difficult or repeated epidural or spinal punctures you have a history of problems with your spine or have had surgery on your spine If you take XARELTO and receive spinal anesthesia or have a spinal puncture, your doctor should watch you closely for symptoms of spinal or epidural blood clots.

Tell your doctor right away if you have: back pain tingling numbness muscle weakness (especially in your legs and feet) loss of control of the bowels or bladder (incontinence) XARELTO is not for use in people wit…
