Doctor prescribe Xarelto 15 mg 2 times a day for 21 days - he took 2 days (4 pills) and second day he have headache and dizziness, nose bleading and heart rate was 108. Very scared - dont know what to do. Should he still take Xarelto? Is this side effects will go away if he will be still taking this medication? Please anyone answer me if you know... Thank you.

Hello, Alla! How is your son?

With the nose bleed and elevated heart rate, he needs to contact his doctor to see what he should do. He may need to stop this medication, or switch to a different one, however, he should not stop taking it, unless his doctor instructs him to do so.

The FDA lists the typical side effects of this mediation as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding and easy bruising.

Is there anything else I can help with?
