A member asked:

How long does it take for xarelto to get out if your system? i just stopped taking it. i've been on it for a year

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Normal liver/kidney: The normal half life is about 9 hours with normal organ function and 13 hours in the eldery. That is half life so a safe bet is 18 hours to 24 hour in someone. I would not stop medications with out talking to your md and why you were on that to begin with. Very improtant is not to stop on your own!
