A member asked:

I'm on warfarin and docs want me to go on xareito instead but i'm not sure what would u suggest ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

A good choice: There are several new anticoagulants, including Xarelto, which are both safer and more effective than warfarin. Xarelto does not need to be adjusted and no blood testing is required. Really the only downside is that, depending upon your insurance, it may be more expensive..

Dr Ali and another doctor agreed
