R like all blood thinners, dont stop taking xarelto r without talking to your doctor, as this may r increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. R while taking, you may bruise more easily and r it may take longer for bleeding to stop. P xarelto may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. P xarelto can cause serious and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. R get help right away for unexpected bleeding, r unusual bruising, or tingling. R if you have had spinal anesthesia while r on xarelto , watch for back pain or any nerve r or muscle related signs or symptoms. R do not take xarelto if you have an artificial t heart valve or abnormal bleeding. R tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. P before starting xarelto , tell your doctor about r any kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. Xarelto is the number onerprescribed blood thinner t in its class.
