There should be no: effect on the anticoagulant from these herbal products however the Avena Sativa could theoretically modify the absorption of the Xarelto. As such you should probably take the herbal in the morning and the Xarelto with supper as directed. It seems contradictory to take established life saving scientifically proven medications along with unproven potentially harmful therapy. You might reconsider.
