    Results of maybe 60% protection against of stroke is a coin flip and for me not worth the price or the laundry list of side effects.

    I recently read that you should take xaralto at night, as most strokes happen in the early hours. It mentioned that it wears off so to be sure you are covered, take it at night. Any truth to this?

    I was found to have AFib in April, and have been taking xarelto , 20 mg, once a day. I feel there’s a side effect with difficulty in stool-- pool becomes dry, also, I concern it could harm kidney in long run. So, I myself reduce the dose to once every two day which I feel comfortable when pool. In general, I am healthy with normal blood pressure, and all data in blood test is normal ( only LDL a little bit higher at 130). Will 20 mg xarelto every two day ok ? Will it increase risk for stroke? My I watch shows my heart beat rate is between 67 to 135 with resting rate at 79. How long does it need to take xarelto? Some info says discontinued the medication could increase risk of stroke, if my heart beat go back to normal, and xarelto can be discontinued. How can it do that ?

    Was told today by my cardiologist to take two 5mg tabs of Eliquis per day. I have AFIB, congestive heart failure, 3 severe leaking valves and aortic stenosis. I am 80 years old and have seen videos of others saying you should take two tablets of 2.5 mg per day, not two 5 mg. Is age a factor?

    Dental work. Check with your dentist to see how long before an extraction, cleanings, or fillings you will need to stop taking Eliquis.I've seen 24 hours to three days. After those procedures, you can go back on the Eliquis after 12 hours.

    Xarelto is only controlled with the indirect INR (fibrinogen test + Ca + tissue factor III) and no prothrombin ratio is checked at all and rising liver values ​​in the event of abnormalities can then appear in an emergency, which are also routinely used in toxic liver cirrhosis. I just personally don't understand where the actual specific proof of effectiveness as a specific anticoagulant substance lies. With XArelto there is no specific treatment feedback, only that Coagulation damage at best, even fibrinolysis in hypothetically triggered Sirs is masked, or is the same not exactly distinguishable In the indirect INR then. Also speaks specifically. enzyme or vitamin K. Often only the fibrinogen test is used as an indirect INR. There is often no direct INR as was previously obvious plus a defined amount of prothrombin in comparison. also no isolated quick with only chemically inactivated serum prothrombin (FII) undeactive amount of FII? for the activator factors VII, IX, X, and possibly V. to differentiate between them? These are relevant in order and effectiveness for normal coagulation So not factor X at all. I don't understand what it's supposed to do, except for SIRS it's often high?

    Braucht der Mensch noch mehr Benefits ? oder die erforderliche fachliche Normalbehandlung ? Man kann auch Marcumar mit 1/ , 1/4, 1/8 einstellen, erster zweiter ,dritter Tag nach Körpergewicht, dann mit z.B 1/8 weiter bei schlanken Menschen. Als Arzt wäre mir dann das Labor und der Rest hier dann auch egal. Ich hab es satt. normale eigene Gesundheit und normale Patienten sind mir wichtiger als psychisch labile Geisteskranke. Soll man mit einem hirnrissigen lebertoxischen Antibiotikum etwa die Gerinnung einstellen wie etwa durch Oxazolidine wie bei Rivaroxaban.Sogar ein Quick von 50 % liefert noch 85 % Schutz , dazu vieleicht eine halbe Tablette Voltaren ? im Akutfall der Schwellung, was immer vergessen wird ? blockiert Thromben zusammen viel wirksamer. Das würde ich ganz ohne erbärmliche Hilfsmittel selber machen ! Meine absolut sachliche Gegendfrage zu Rivaroxaban es ist doch eindeutig ein Oxazolidin ? warum verwendet man nicht Rivaroxaban anstelle Linezolid gewinnbringend in der Tierhaltung ? Was würden Tierhalter hiervon halten ? wenn sie es über 4 Wochen den Tieren geben würden ? wären diese dann frei von Leberschäden , so wie in den USA ? und Blutergüssen am ganzen Körper ? Aber sie hätten womöglich keinen Infekt mehr die vorher noch gesunden Rindviecher ? Vieleicht hatten sie ja dafür eine Sirs oder eine anderswo parallel ausgelöste Thrombose ? Und der Schlachthof würde sich dann als Bonus - Versicherungsfall freuen bei zusätzlichen Prämien für Einspaarungen ? Sie bekommen dann auch keine weiteren Erkrankungen ? Es ist ja gerade das schöne und gute daß es von spezifischen Enzymem und Vitaminfaktoren des Prothrombinkomplexes abhängt und die einleuchtende Gerinnungsfaktorenynthese seit Jahrzehnten auch Studienanfängern bestens bekannt ist ? und deshalb total leberfreundlich mit dem Gegenvitamin Marumar sehr verträglich antagonisierbar ist weil es nachvollziehbar ist und rückkoppelbar transparent steuerbar ist. Welches bei 4' am Vitaminmolekül eine OH Gruppe nur hat, statt einer o Gruppe. Marcumar ist ähnliches als synthetisiertes Pro- bis Fehlvitamin. Zur Struktur von Vitamin K: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin_K Zur Struktur von Marcumar: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenprocoumon das hier vergleichbar unter Laborwerten leberfreundlich über ein Vitamin steuerbar ist ? Seit über 40 Jahren erprobt und sehr gut leberfreuundlich, also zur Restleber mit dessen Energiestoffwechsel hier sogar getrennt und nur bei der Gerinnungssynthese über ein Vitamin anwendbar. Rivaroxabam ist ein Oxacolidin - Antibiotikum aus der US Landwirdschaft wie Linezolid wohl , welches einen ? lebertoxischen Schaden ? und eine gefährliche SIRS nach längerer kumulastiver Wirkung zeigt ? Warum verbietet man Linezolid in der Landwirtschaft in anderen Ländern als Antibiotikum ? will aber Menschen lebertoxisch kumulierend mit Rivaroxabam als Gerinnungshemmer hierzulande absurderweise behandeln ? schlimmstenfalls mit einer fortschreitenden Leberzirrhose oder nur Hepathopathie ? ohne Gewichtsrelevanz , ohne spezifische Laborrelevanz auch und ohne spezifische Antibiotikastoffgruppe ? oder irgendwie spezifisch überprüfbare toxisch antibiotische Kumulationsmenge in einer menschlichen kleineren Leber ? als bei Rindviechern ? dann mit Gottvertrauen hier die Gerinnung behandeln ? das ist stark das ist riesig und das ist gescheit ? aber nicht lege artis und somit bewußte Körperverletzung mit Todesfolgen bisweilen ? Struktur von lebertoxischem Oxacolidinantibiotikum (nur für 2 Wochen eigentlich zugelassen und mit zahlreichen Nebenwirkungen, da kumulierend, aber sinnvollem Reserveantibiotikum bei MRSA , also einer total völlig anderen Fragestellung) de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linezolid . Struktur von kumulierendem Oxacolidin wie Rivaroxaban oder Xarelto de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rivaroxaban Unerwünschte Wirkungen von Xarelto: Häufig Anämie Schwindel Kopfschmerzen Bindehauteinblutung Hypotonie Hämatome der Haut Epistaxis Hämoptysen Zahnfleischbluten Gastrointestinale Blutung Gastrointestinale und abdominelle Schmerzen Dyspepsie Übelkeit, Erbrechen Verstopfung, Diarrhoe Anstieg der Transaminasen Blutung im Urogenitaltrakt (u. a. Hämaturie, Menorrhagie) Einschränkung der Nierenfunktion Fieber Ödeme Verminderte Leistungsfähigkeit. Gelegentlich Thrombozytose, Thrombozytopenie Allergische Reaktion Allergische Dermatitis Angioödem und allergisches Ödem Zerebrale und intrakranielle Blutung Synkope Tachykardie Mundtrockenheit Leberfunktionsstörung, Anstieg Bilirubin, alkalischer Phosphatase und GGT im Blut Urtikaria Hämarthros Unwohlsein Anstieg von LDH, Lipase und Amylase. Selten Ikterus Cholestase Hepatitis Einblutung in einen Muskel Lokale Ödeme Vaskuläres Pseudoaneurysma. Nebenwirkungen mit unbekannter Häufigkeit Kompartmentsyndrom als Folge von Blutungen Rivaroxaban-induzierten Thrombozytopenie (Pop MK et al. 2018) Kutane Nekrosen wie sie auch unter Heparin beobachtet werden (Vu TT et al. 2017). Bullöses Pemphigoid bzw. Pemphigoid-artige bullöse Erkrankungen (Ferreira C et al. 2018; Chohan SA et al. 2020) Stevens-Johnson-Syndrom Leukozytoklastische Vaskulitis (Chaaya G et al. 2016) Falsch positive Titer von Lupus Antikoagulans (Murer LM et al. 2016) Xarelto wird nur mit dem indirekten INR (Fibrinogentest + Ca + Gewebefaktor III)also gar keinerlei Prothrombinratio kontrolliert und ansteigende Leberwerte bei Auffälligkeiten sind dann im Notfall zu sehem, die auch bei einer toxischen Leberzirrhose routinemäßig zur Anwendung kommen. Ich verstehe nur rein privat nicht, wo hier der eigentliche spezifische Wirkungsnachweis als spezifische gerinnungshemmende Substanz. Bei XArelto gibt es keien spezifische Behandlungsrückkopplung , sondern nur die eines Gerinnungsschadens bestenfalls , auch eine Fibrinolyse bei hypothetisch ausgelöster Sirs wird maskiert,oder ist genauso nicht genau unterscheidbar Im indirekten INR dann. Auch spricht keinerlei spez. Enzym oder Vitamin K. an. Es wird oft nur der Fibrinogentest als indirekter INR eingesetzt. Es gibt oft keinen direkten INR wie früher selbstverständlich plus definierter Prothrombinmenge im Vergleich dazu. auch keieinerlei isolierten Quick bei nur chemisch inaktivierten Serum Prothrombin (FII )undeaktionsmenge an FII ? für die Aktivatorfaktoren VII, IX, X, und ggf V . um diese auch zu unterscheiden ? Diese sind relevant nach Reihenfolge und Wirksamkeit für die normale Gerinnung also gar nicht Faktor X . Ich versteh nicht, was der überhaupt soll, außer bei SIRS oft auch hoch ?

Finally realized I am intolerant to anticoagulants so I am looking into the Watchman and IVC filter! I don’t see this side effect listed but believe it should be!!! I took blood thinners for a month and the itching almost drove me mad! No more for me!!!!!

      I have afib and am having a lot of stomach (gastritis) symptoms on several of the blood thinners. I researched the Watchman device and found out it contains nickel…and I am allergic to nickel which is in a lot of the cheap jewelry that causes me to get an infection. Xarelto has a very short time it is active in your system; about 12 hours. Warfarin is cheaper and lasts from 20 to 60 hours, so I am going to ask my doctor about it. Hopefully an upcoming ablation will eliminate the need for blood thinners.

      ​@@patriciaortiz1683there is a lot of info on Google that explains why certain people need anti coagulants further than aspirin. It's usually for artery clots where the patient has had multiple in provoked instances of pulmonary embolisms or have had a heart attack or stroke due to an artery clot or clots. I've been doing a ton of reading because I want to go back on aspirin. I never felt bad like this on the aspirin, but I would forget to take it. I feel like I would rather take aspirin and risk death than live feeling like this on xeralto. It's terrible.

    Great video, Sean, but I am still confused about how to monitor my intake of Eliquis. I have been so used to checking my INR for the past 10 years on Warfarin that I may become worried by not seeing if my ratio is between 2.0 and 3.0. I had to lower my ratio by not taking my Warfarin for a day or 2 which I did and got the number down to 1.5 which is borderline dangerously low for me. Would that number go up after a couple of days on the Eliquis?

I was also drinking heavy and smoking heavy but now my lifestyle is completely different. I have spoken to my doctor and he says that i have to stay on the tablets for the rest of my life and I'm only 52 now.

      Xarelto does not negatively kidney function in any way. The kidneys do eliminate Xarelto from the body. As such, the dose should be adjusted in patient's who have certain low levels of kidney function to avoid excessive exposure of the drug for the patient.

    HI great video, I know people always talk about foods high in vitamin k that can clot the blood but do you need to worry about eating foods that are high in vitamin E that can thin the blood if you are on rivaroxaban ? Thanks.

    • @LoboLynx
      @LoboLynx 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Robert, while vitamin E is known to have some "blood thinning" properties, it usually not significant for people taking anticoagulants like rivaroxaban.
