Xarelto

I have been taking Xarelto for about a year, during that time i have lost about 15 lbs. I had thought it was because of my thyroid, but now I am not too sure. My thyroid is testing OK, i checked if losing weight is at all common in taking this drug and I have read that females over the age of 60 have lost weight when taking Xarelto, also have a cough off and on. Has anyone else had anything similar?

I have never experienced weight gain from Xarelto or Eliquis. I have taken both over the last 7 years and will always be on a blood thinner. (Isolated LAA Second Ablation). I am a man and I currently take Eliquis.

Sorry; My Bad. If Xarelto caused weight loss, I would use it instead of Eliquis. It would be a nice side effect for me. 😂 Anyway, I will continue to just read and seldom post. Love this site. Did not mean to offend you.

oh, I didn't mean it that way, you didn't offend me, i was just puzzled. Thanks for your reply.
