A member asked:
My 76 yr old dad diagnosed with afib. cardio is putting him on xerelto to prevent blood clots. how long does it take for the xerelto to take effect in preventing a blood clot? does it start working right away?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Xerelto starts working quickly and thins your blood within 24-48 hours. This is expected from most drugs used for any of the medical conditions. So you should relax and quit worrying about blood clots due to AF.
