Gas Pains From 20 Mg Xarelto + Leg Tiredness
UpdatedBeen on 20 mg of Xarelto for 5 days now for A-fib, I'm a Celiac and quite senstive to any drug causing gas and a change in my bowel movements. I also have noticed a tiredness in my legs. I'm 71 and quite active and would like to know if these side effects might diminish or subside? they told me that if they don't then I will need to change to a different newer A-fib drug. No bleeding problems.
Thanks for may info and I know that there isn't much out there having to do with Celiac's taking this drug.

The only thing you can really do is wait about 4 to 6 weeks to see if the side effects go away, once your body gets used to the medication. In most cases they are transient, but some people have continued to have problems with Xarelto and had to switch to something else.
Other side effects, as listed by the FDA, may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding and easy bruising.
Is there anything else I can help with?
Thanks - I've got a pretty good idea of most of the side effects and was hoping that someone had a similar experience as there isn't any data dealing with Celiac patients as they were excluded from all phases of the drug panel per my Pharm person who did the intake interview @ the Anti-Coag clinic in Asheville. I'm pretty much resigned to the fact that it'll take some time to decide if I need a different drug. All of the newer ones have very similar side effects. The bleeding and bruising are the main problems and I'm very aware of that as I'm a retired DDS and married to a retried wound care nurse. Thanks for the reply
