A member asked:
Been using xarelto for 3 weeks for pulmonary embolism twice a day. moving to once a day soon for remainder of 3 months.started to experience muscle pains and spasms especially in legs. almost like growing pain feeling. what to do or just wait it out?

Muscle pains: I recommend checking your blood work for deficiencies of calcium and magnesium. If ok, try taking a light dose of magnesium supplement(400mgs per day) which may suppress muscle spasms. I don't think this will interfere with xarelto but I would check with your pharmacist to be sure.
