Side Effect On Xarelto About Weight Gain

I have been on Xarelto for about a month and my weight went up 25 to 30 lbs. Before I was on Xarelto I was taking Warfin and I was gaining any extra weight. I haven't been prescripted nor taken any other medications then the medications that has prescripted to me. I would like to know is there anyone else having this problem.

Hi Tammy,

Even though weight gain is not actually listed as being a possible side effect, I've actually been seeing quite a few posts from other individuals tracing it back to Xarelto as well.

Unfortunately I find that in these types of cases, it seems like the only other options are to make more drastic changes to your diet; exercise harder/longer; or just stop taking what's triggering it to begin with. If you don't want to go that route, you can always try asking your doctor for something similar with less risks pertaining to weight gain.

This is where you really just have to weigh out the benefits vs risks (no pun intended), and decide if Xarelto is really right for you...

How often do you exercise each week?

I have been taking Xarelto for about two months. I have gained 15 pounds. I did not gain any weight when I was taking Coumadin.

Diagnosed with a fib September, 16 but I'm sure I had it for a long time before that. Dec. 16 rushed to the hospital because of breathing difficulty and diagnosed with chf. Attributed in part due to too high dose of synthroid. Not on the scale for weeks because I can't bear seeing #'s. Last check I was up 14 lbs in since late Dec 16. Taking myself off of Xarelto. I know it's increased risk of stroke but I can't live with myself with so much increased weight gain. No clothes fit and feel like a beached whale. Have small frame; it all goes to abdomen & butt, My daughter was on a similar drug for a blood clot and gained 27 lbs. Not able to lose after she was off medication. Evil drugs, I have to believe there's a better way.

Re: MJ (# 2)

That's because doctors only want to get kickbacks from drug manufacturers. I've gained 20 pounds in two months. I think it's fluid retention. Went to doctor today and he is changing me to Coumadin. The doctors at the hospital put me on Xarelto after nearly dying from a pulmonary embolism.

Re: Monica Enid (# 5)

I called the manufacturer of Xarelto and told them that I was having fluid retention and weight gain. They're full of crap that they didn't know this is a side effect. Crooked.

I too have gained weight, and feel like my stomach is swollen, my stomach is big anyway because my stomach muscles are separating and my stomach is protruding throw, but it feels like it’s way bigger than it’s ever been and it feels so much different.
