The #1 prescribed novel oral
anticoagulant in the US*1
The patients they studied are the ones I see.
AMONG NOVEL ORAL ANTICOAGULANTS:
Most real-world experience: more than 2 million patients prescribed
in the US.2
Most safety data generated in clinical trials in patients
studied with high risk of thrombotic events.†3-16
Most affordable: the lowest average
out-of-pocket cost.17
Not intended to be a comparison of safety
or efficacy outcomes.
*Among Factor Xa inhibitors and direct thrombin inhibitors.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING: (A) PREMATURE DISCONTINUATION OF
XARELTO® INCREASES THE RISK OF THROMBOTIC
EVENTS, (B) SPINAL/EPIDURAL HEMATOMA
A. PREMATURE DISCONTINUATION OF XARELTO®
INCREASES THE RISK OF THROMBOTIC EVENTS
Premature discontinuation of any oral anticoagulant,
including XARELTO®, increases the risk of thrombotic
events. If anticoagulation with XARELTO® is
discontinued for a reason other than pathological
bleeding or completion of a course of therapy,
consider coverage with another anticoagulant.
B. SPINAL/EPIDURAL HEMATOMA
Epidural or spinal hematomas have occurred in
patients treated with XARELTO® who are receiving
neuraxial anesthesia or undergoing spinal puncture.
These hematomas may result in long-term or
permanent paralysis. Consider these risks when
scheduling patients for spinal procedures.
Factors that can increase the risk of developing
epidural or spinal hematomas in these patients include:
Use of indwelling epidural catheters
Concomitant use of other drugs that affect
hemostasis, such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory
drugs (NSAIDs), platelet inhibitors, othe
