More than 4 million people were prescribed Xarelto� (also known as rivarobaxin) in 2014.� Xarelto� is a prescription blood thinner marketed as superior to the historically prescribed Coumadin� (also known as warfarin).

Xarelto�, the most successful of the new line of blood thinners (or anti-coagulants) hit the US market in 2011 to treat hip and knee implant patients.� It has since been approved for the treatment of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism.

Xarelto� Doubles Risk of GI Bleeds?

A study was recently published by the British Medical Journal suggesting that Xarelto� may double the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding in patients.

More than 40,000 Americans were part of this study into Xarelto�.

The purpose of the study was to determine if there was a measurable difference in occurrences of gastrointestinal bleeding for patients on Xarelto� vs. Coumadin�.

After reviewing the measurable data obtained, the doctors concluded that it cannot be ruled out there is �a more than twofold higher risk of bleeding with Xarelto� compared with Coumadin�.�
