Can i smoke cannabis while on rivaroxaban for a pulmonary embolism?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Best not to smoke: Smoking anything is not in your best particularly with recent PE. You are young, save your lungs. If you are on medicinal marijuana you could confer with your doctor or pharmacist regarding drug interactions if oral intake was appropriate for you.
