Are There Any Side Effects Of Taking Xarelto?

My husband is on Xarelto. He takes it everyday for the last several months. Last night was the first time he had no blood in his urine. Both doctors know of his heavy bleeding in urine. We are concerned that he is no longer bleeding in the last twelve hours.

Thanks for asking in healthcaremagic forum
It is used to prevent thrombosis/prophylaxis in many conditions. Some of them are
a. Deep vein thrombosis
b. Pulmonary embolism
c. Non valvular Atrial fibrillation
So, the risk of bleeding is always there with this medication. Please followup with your doctor's till there is no bleeding and INR is within desired levels.All the best.
