What Are The Side Effects Of Taking Xarelto With Sertraline?

I have been on warfarin for a number of years due to blood clots in my left leg and lungs. I also have Afib. I have now been changed to Xarelto and it seems to be interacting with my sertraline as I have been having vaginal bleeding

Hello,

There are no interactions between Xarelto and Sertraline, so I would not suspect this is due to the combination of these medications.

Xarelto can make menstruation heavier, but if there is abnormal vaginal bleeding (other than bleeding during a period), then this would need to be investigated as Xarelto would not normally cause this.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Sertraline reacts least with other drugs among this class. However irrespective of whatever is the cause if you are on xarelto and have bleed , urgently go to ER or inform your doctor.
