A member asked:
Why does 20 mg xarelto have to be taken with an evening meal yet weaker ones don't have to be with food!thanks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Due to absorption.: Food has been found to have a measurable impact on the rate of absorption with the 20-mg (and 15-mg) dose(s) -- but it has no such effect on the 10-mg strength. For these drugs in particular, making sure that we keep reliable levels of active drug circulating in the blood is essential to prevent clots, strokes, or other events. Hence the rule.
