Injury And Xarelto

I had a fall, and the emergency room said to go off the med for the night to help the bleeding stop, and to follow up with cardiologist tomorrow. I did this, but the cardio did not return my call, so I am unsure if it is safe to stop it for a second day. How do you wean it down? One day on, one day off? I need the injury to heal, but dont want to risk other problems. I wsd put on yhe med for afib..

Hello, Cecilia! How are you? What did you end up doing?

It can be risky to take too many days in a row off of this medication, without tapering, since that increases the risk of clots and adverse events.

Did your cardio get in touch?

In most cases, it would be best to just take the one day off, as the ER instructed and, if in doubt, call them back for further instructions.
