Which Birth Control Pill Can Be Taken While On Xarelto?
I m on xarelto due to DVT, I was on both control pills for the last 8 years. I asked my gyno what are birth control options. They are mirana, arm iud, mini pill, depo shot. My nurse practitioner researched and they all use same receptors that xarelto uses, therefore neither one will work like they should. Dont know what to do. I am 47 years old and don t want to get pregnant and don t want another dvt. Any suggestions?

hello,
I have gone through your questions.
I would suggest you to stop birth control pills and try barrier methods, IUCD etc
You should not stop your drug for DVT.
Have a better health.
