It is due to the side effect of tablet xarelto.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

I understand your concerns. Blood in stools is due to the side effect of tablet xarelto. It is a blood thinner used to prevent blood clots and stroke.

I would suggest you to meet your treating doctor as soon as possible to prescribe an alternative drug.

I hope this answered your query.
