Xarelto And Vitamins? (Page 3)
(Newest replies first)

Was prescribed Xarelto 15 mg 2x daily two weeks ago for blood clot in the leg. I would like to keep taking the viamins/ supplements that I always took before this - I.e., B complex, Vit. C 1000 mg, Calcium/Magnesium, Vit D 2000 IU, Co-enzyme Q 10 200 mg, Biosil and Lutein. My doc said "no", but didn't tell me why not. Can't find any info anywhere to determine abiut this. Xarelto manufacturer has no info on package insert. Pharmacist doesn't seem to know either. I have read on another website that apparently the maket did not test for interactions w. vitamins, so they don't know. Does anyone here have any futher info regarding this? I feel that I really need to be taking my vitamins!

Hi, Lizzy! How are you?

It's due to the vitamin K that is in them. It can increase the clotting factor of your blood and basically work against the medication.

Are there any other questions or concerns?

Medical ID bracelet is a great idea. I think I should get one too. Glad the Xarelto is working better for you. I went Monday for appointment, in two months they are going to do tests, to see if they can determine what caused the blood clot and an ultrasound to be certain it's gone. If they determine that it was a freak thing, then I can go off the Warfarin. If the tests show that I most likely will get another clot, then I have to remain on the blood thinner.

Actually (fingers and toes crossed), I fortunately don't seem to be having any side effects so far (3 weeks). Saw doc again last week - am now down to 20 mgs. once daily, instead of 15 mgs. 2x daily. Asked again about taking the vitamins, and the doctor now says okay. However, I've decided to forego taking vitamin C for now, as it apparently has some slight blood-thinning quality. Don't need anything further in that regard! Also have purchased a medical ID bracelet that has "Taking Xarelto" engraved on it. Might not help much in the event of an accident, but couldn't hurt either, I think.

Claire,
Saw an ad on TV last night. Some attorney is doing a legal suit against the manufacturers of Xarelto. The ad says they have had some deaths. Maybe you should call your doctor as you are having side effects.

Claire, Best to listen to Verwon and follow doctors orders. There is definitely an interaction between vitamins and blood thinners. It seems really strange to me, but the interaction can cause the blood to be thicker or thinner. Please do what your doctor says, I'm sure they explained how dangerous a blood clot can be, because it can move to your lungs, heart, brain. I feel for you because I am still fighting with a blood clot I developed in June, and am really tired of it. They had said that usually the body dissolves the clot within six months, and I feel like I'm being a slow poke. I had to give up my leafy green vegetables and I'm very unhappy about that.

Hello, Claire! How are you?

Some vitamins can cause blood thinning and other may cause more clotting, so it would be best to follow your doctor's advice and stay away from them.

Xarelto side effects may include nausea, backache, increased risk of bleeding and low energy.

Is there anything else I can help with?
