Xarelto or Warafin for APS?

Posted by scottham777 @scottham777, Aug 24 1:40am

I really want an honest opinion on which drug is most beneficial for APS in preventing clots. I had a PE (clot) in. November 2023, and a recent MRI showed a mild stroke (which may or may not have been cause by APS) according to my neurologist. I am currently on Xarelto and have been since November 2023. Test always show no clots in CAT scans for pulmonary embolism, at least 3 times and no clots in other areas according D-dimer and other blood tests. My new PC wants to put me on Warafin, because he said it is much better than Xarelto for APS. Any thoughts?

Thanks for sharing. I have been on Xarelto for about 21 months & plan to go off around Nov 6 as 3 months post 2nd ablation. I will chew 4 baby aspirins if chest pain etc as do anyway or nitro. There are lawsuits on Xarelto and other negatives & with other med interactions. I also had a bleed in the hospital from incision not clotting that scared me as blood was all over.

I am elder in 70's but during these years have increasingly bad wrinkled Crepy skin more like person in 90's. Has an anyone else noticed massive thinning wrinkled skin from blood thinners like Xarelto?
