A member asked:
I am currently on xarelto for dvt. i've started to have diarrhea once every other day and my stool is a light brown or tan color. is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unrelated: Fortunately, the stool color is reassuring in that you have not developed a GI bleed as a result. Continue the xarelto. Let your doctor know if the diarrhea persists for more than 1-2 weeks, but it is unlikely related to the new medication.
