Warfarin: Discuss with your doc the warfarin option. Dicoumarol appears in spoiled sweet clover silages and is considered to be a fermentation product and mycotoxin. After its identification in 1940, it became the historical prototype of this drug class.

See below: Xarelto (or the 2 others) are mainly in non-valvular atrial fib (also now in pe, dvt). It is safer in view of other drugs and food in keeping its level of activity. The alternative is Coumadin (warfarin) or the injectables in which levels can change with food and meds and have to be followed closely. Xarelto is simpler and safer as long as you fit the indications.
