Coumadin and Xarelto have different mechanisms of action I believe, and while I don't know much about the actual condition you have, I would assume coumadin is more effective in that situation that other anti-coagulants.
Same reason the blood clots that are associated with the J&J vaccine should not be treated with heparin, which is the normal "first line" action for clotting issues. Not sure of the mechanism of the formation of that particular type of clot, but it occurs along with suppressed platelet count, and heparin works by preventing platelet conglomeration if I remember my med tech training from forty years ago. Totally ineffective, and possibly could worsen the condition instead of treat it. _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
