In rare cases, a serious allergic reaction to either medication may occur. If symptoms such as hives, difficulty breathing, or swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat occur, get emergency medical help right away.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nThis is not a complete list of side effects. Consult your healthcare provider for more information on adverse reactions of Eliquis and Xarelto.<\/span><\/p>\nDrug interactions for Xarelto and Eliquis<\/span><\/h2>\nEliquis and Xarelto interact with certain drugs that are metabolized by the same enzyme. When enzyme inhibitor drugs are used with Eliquis or Xarelto, the levels of Eliquis or Xarelto in your body would increase, which would put you at increased risk for bleeding. If you have to take this combination of drugs, it is likely that your healthcare provider will change your Eliquis or Xarelto while on both medications. Examples of these interacting drugs include Nizoral (ketoconazole and Paxlovid (nirmatrelvir and ritonavir).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nOn the other hand, when enzyme inducers are taken with Eliquis or Xarelto, there is an interaction where those drugs make Eliquis or Xarelto metabolize faster, and you may not get enough of the Eliquis or Xarelto dose. As a result, the formation of blood clots or a stroke could ensue. Examples include rifampin, Tegretol (carbamazepine), Dilantin (phenytoin), and the supplement St. John\u2019s wort.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nUsing Eliquis or Xarelto with other anticoagulants, antiplatelet drugs, NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), or certain antidepressants may increase the risk of bleeding. However, for some indications, Xarelto should be taken with a low dose of aspirin or another antiplatelet drug. Your healthcare provider will tell you whether you should take any of these combinations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nThis is not a full list of drug interactions. Consult your healthcare provider for more information about drug interactions and how they may affect you. Before taking Eliquis or Xarelto, tell your healthcare provider about all the medications you take, including prescription and OTC drugs, vitamins, and supplements.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nWarnings of Xarelto and Eliquis<\/span><\/h2>\nEliquis and Xarelto have a boxed warning, also known as a black box warning, which is the strongest warning required by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The warnings state that discontinuing Eliquis or Xarelto prematurely increases the risk of a clotting event, and in addition, dangerous epidural or spinal bleeding and hematomas can occur in patients who are receiving spinal anesthesia or spinal puncture.<\/span><\/p>\nOther warnings outline that bleeding may occur and could be serious or potentially fatal. Furthermore, using Eliquis or Xarelto with certain drugs (anticoagulants, antiplatelet drugs, NSAIDs, SSRI or SNRI antidepressants) increases the risk of bleeding. The drug labels warn that patients with active bleeding should seek emergency medical attention and note that a reversal agent is available to reverse the effects of factor Xa inhibition.<\/span><\/p>\nSafety messaging also highlights that Eliquis or Xarelto are not recommended in patients with prosthetic heart valves and are not recommended as an alternative to heparin for initial treatment of PE patients who have hemodynamic instability (shock or heart failure). The labels clarify that these drugs should not be used in patients with triple-positive antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) due to an increased risk of clotting.<\/span><\/p>\nCertain health conditions could be problematic. Patients with chronic liver disease or chronic kidney problems must talk to their healthcare provider before taking Eliquis or Xarelto. There is limited data on the use of Eliquis or Xarelto in pregnancy and using either drug may increase the risk of bleeding during both pregnancy and delivery, increase the risk of bleeding in the fetus\/newborn, and increase the risk of epidural or spinal hematoma if an epidural is used for anesthesia during labor and delivery. Consult your OB-GYN about the use of Eliquis or Xarelto during pregnancy. Generally, the drug is only used if benefits outweigh risks (for example, in certain high-risk pregnancies) and with careful monitoring. If you are already using Eliquis or Xarelto and find out that you are<\/span> pregnant<\/span>, consult your OB-GYN for guidance.<\/span><\/p>\nFrequently asked questions about Eliquis vs. Xarelto<\/span><\/h2>\nAre Eliquis and Xarelto the same?<\/span><\/h3>\nEliquis and Xarelto are both known as direct factor Xa inhibitors. They are similar, but not exactly the same. One of the main differences is that Xarelto has several more indications, including some specific uses for children and adolescents, while Eliquis is not FDA-approved for use in this age group. Xarelto is typically taken once a day, while Eliquis is taken twice daily. Other similarities and differences are outlined above. Other factor Xa inhibitors include<\/span> Arixtra<\/span> | | |
