A member asked:
What happen if i stop or forget to take my xarelto for 1 week or longer? how fast do a blod clot grow up with stent treatment?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: Xarelto prevents blood clots. It is not given to prevent clots in a coronary stent. It is given for atrial fibrillation to prevent cardiac clots or in patients with clots in legs or the lung arteries. So, if you forget it for a week clots can develop in these other areas. Plavix (clopidogrel) or effient and aspirin are used to prevent coronary stent clots.
