Rivaroxaban 20mg

Updated

My doctor started me on this med. What are the side effects and benefits? They recently found I had an irregular heart beat. I take one pill a day in evening.

This medication is used to help prevent blood clots, since they can possibly lead to heart attack, stroke and other health issues, according to the NIH.

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

Is there anything else I can help with?

I have been taking Rivaroxaban 20mgs for 6 months and developed a sinus and jaw ache after 3 months. Has anyone had a similar problem? Some days are worse than others but there's no real pattern.

Hematologist has reduced my Rivaroxaban from 20mg to 10mg. I have been on 20mg for 6 months for DVT in my calf and have no symptoms now from DVT at moment but seems I will be on these drugs lifelong. Has anyone had this drug reduced and have they had any change in symptoms?
