A member asked:
Is rivaroxaban xalerto safe and good drug for preventing stroke in afib compared to aspirin and plavix (clopidogrel) together in72 yr man with hypertension,s.cr1.56?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Xalerto is best: His CHA2DS2-VASc score is 2 (age and presence of hypertension). All studies have concluded that the benefit from anticoagulation significantly exceeds the risks for almost all AF patients with a score of 2 or more. Xalerto will more effectively reduce his risk of stroke and won't increase his risk of bleeding.
