How Long Does Xarelto Continue Working In Your System?

Updated

I was on xarelto for 1 month. I was taking 20 mg for a blood clot that developed from my mediport. The med caused me to itch so bad that I was switched to lovenox inj's. After three day of being on the lovenox I am still itching. It has mainly been my hands and my feet. How long do these medications work in your system for?

Hello, Teresa! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem that you're having.

If you were on the Xarelto for a month, it could take a week or so for the side effects and reaction to stop.

However, you should be aware that the Lovenox could also cause itching, as a side effect, along with dizziness, headache and easy bruising.

In many cases, it's due to the change it makes to your circulation. The same can occur with other medications that affect your circulation, such as blood pressure and cardiac medications. But the side effects should wear off and improve after 4 week, or so, once your body gets used to the medication.

Is there anything else I can help with?

I am on both as well. Xarelto has a half-life of approximately 7 hours. As a general rule, multiply the t1/2 by 6 to get a rough idea about how much time it takes a "healthy" person to excrete the drug (not including active metabolites. There are other things that relate to your question as well such as how long you've been on the med.
A one time dose of Xarelto should be out of your body after APPROX two days. But that does NOT mean you can have procedures that involve bleeding done in just two days. (I am a retired Pharmacist; NOT a doctor. Check w/ your own doctor, NOT just my feedback.)

I too have some severe itching. I deal with it by applying very hot water to either hands or feet. Try it, it works very well. Good Luck.

Never got an answer to how long it takes for Xarelto to leave your system. One day, two days??

Jan, according to this site's half life calculator, the drug is reduced by half about every 7 hours, meaning it would take about 3 days for it to reach minute levels in your body.

I stupidly took 20 mg of a xarelto pill since 'throwing out my back' ( no injury just turned wrong . I now have severe pain between my shoulder blades . Could the xarelto have caused more harm? ( like bleeding) I stopped taking xarelto 3 months ago after a 3 month regimen for a leg dvt.

Deborah, I checked the side effect profile on Medline Plus and did not see anything listed related to blood glucose levels. Are you taking any other medications, or do you have any other conditions if I may ask?

What are symptoms of blood thinners?... Around 6 months ago i was shaving and bleeding and i changed the razors and cleaned the razors but i kept bleeding while shaving and i am brushing my teeth and my gums are bleeding so i switched toothbrushes from soft bristle to name brand but still bleeding when i brushed my teeth and my periods were heavy and long and bruising on my arms but i wasnt on any blood thinners just a birthcontrol that came with a strip packs silica packets that never came with my birth control... I stopped the birth control and my gums are no longer bleeding and i don't bleed when i shave but my periods are odd... When i did nic myself shaving the blood seemed thick and came out alot but now if i do nick myself it bleeds thin fir a few seconds... Could it have been possibly a bloodthinner instead of birth control?
