What Causes Red Spots Throughout The Body While Taking Multaq And Xarelto?

I started taking Multaq and Xarelto 15 mg. the same day about 6 weeks ago. I have red spots that keep popping up all over my body. You can t feel them and they don t itch. It looks like someone took a red magic marker and made spots. What can I do about them?

Hello,

The red spots you are complaining may be related to the blood thinners you are taking. You may need to consult your cardiologist to lower the dosage of blood thinners. Minor trauma can cause them.

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

Wishing you all the best.

Regards,
