Does xarelto causes nosebleeds?

It can...: Any anticoagulation medication can cause nosebleeds. If these are minor and infrequent, it may not be worht the risk of stopping the medication, depending on why it was started. Occassionally nosebleeds may be severe enough to warrant stopping this type of medication, but this is rare. Talk to your doctor about this.

No, but Xarelto will: aggravate; ↑duration before stopping. Xarelto inhibits clot formation & is Rxed because of evidence/concern of forming clots inside blood vessels, not just at blood vessel breaks, thus any bleeding is ↑ed because Xarelto slows clotting at all locations. It does NOT thin blood; blood viscosity does not change. Can Xarelto response be checked? Yes, using a TEG machine, see: http://goo.gl/XxOW9c.
