Xarelto - Itching Side Effects (Page 2)
(Newest replies first)

I have been taking Xarelto 15mg x2/day for almost 3 weeks and will go onto 20mg/day next week for the remainder of 3 months. I had a lower leg blood clot almost 3 wks ago. I have experienced some itching of my lower and upper legs and wonder whether it is something to worry about. I had thought that maybe the symptoms may relax when I go onto the lower dose. I chose Xeralto over Warfarin for the convenience of less blood checks and think I would prefer to remain on it. I have been unable to get through to the clinic or to speak to my doctor so will probably have to make an appointment but thought I would ask here and see if there was any advice available. I have also started with itching to one of my eyes yesterday though this may be due to a new cleanser which I have stopped using. Has anybody else had similar problems?

I've been on Xarelto (15mg twice daily) for about 3 days now to treat a DVT in my right arm. I've been having pain in my non-dvt arm, leg, and the worst headaches I've ever had. Is this normal?

I have been taking rivaroxaban (xarelto) for approximately six weeks. I have stopped taking them due to my experiencing headaches, leg pains, reflux and very bad breath. How long will it take for these symptoms to subside?

I had a pe about a month ago. Cant find out why? Since taking xarelto i have had terrible nausea and pain under my sternum. My whole body aches. I cant seem to get enough energy to do anything. I'm 42 and now they're checking for cancer. I'm scared out of my mind.

The itching is likely because it's a part of the healing process of the affected vein.

Hi, I am Rose. My husband had seizures before a year and we got it checked with neuro, scans done MRI, then docs told that he is having tumour in his brain and we got it operated and diagonsed as Grade 2 tumour oligodendroglioma. he is advised to take Eptoin 100mg 1-0-2 for 2years. it is almost a year now and recently he developed swelling and pain in his left leg and it became severe. When we consulted the vascular doctor, they suggested to take CT and figured out that blood clots were there in his veins and some got spreader in his lung portion as well. So they advised us to go for IVC filter and we got that also done. Now he is under blood thinner Xarelto. Firstly we were wondering why this clots had occurred. is this side effect of Taking Eptoin?
now taking both the tablets Eptoin and Xarelto will have more side effects?
if at all, he is having some bleeding which is not stopping, what is the first help we have to be doing?
having fear in what might happen to him with both tablets to be taken regularly.....Any replies will help me...for sure..We did asked vascular surgeon to consult with the neuro doctor who operated him for Tumour..

Hi and thanks for your reply.
I am much better now thanks. No sooner had I posted than the symptoms started to improve over the following few days.
My main worry now is whether the clot was a symptom of 'activity' in my secondary cancers of lungs and liver but thats another problem. Scan next week will confirm. Hey ho , onwards....
Thanks again

Hello, Donna! How are you?

Itching can be a side effect of any medication like this that affects your circulation, once you're on a steady dose for a month or so, then it should start to improve, but be sure to double check with your doctor to be sure.

But when your overall blood flow is improved, the nerves in your extremities respond and you'll usually experience an itching sensation. This typically also happens if you got so cold that your hands or feet went numb, then start to warm back up, because the blood is rushing back in.

Is there anything else I can help with?
