Rivaroxaban and Pregnancy!
Posted , 5 users are following.
My wife has just fallen pregnant (4 weeks) and has been on Rivaroxaban as she was diagnosed with PE. This wasn't planned but we are now in a real dilemma as to what to do next. The drug is apparently toxic and it's not known what the effects could have on the baby. From what I've found, testing has been done on rats and there is talk of the drug affecting foetal development but not much else. It doesn't give percentages, if it can be reversed etc.
really desperate for any advice whatsoever, if anyone has any info on anyone that has given birth whilst using the drug through early stages of pregnancy, that would be huge information BUT I realise there is a low chance of receiving this info.
Again, any research, or info would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Mary! When I realized I was pregnant I went to my hematologist, he stopped Xarelto and gave me enoxaparine for the, whole pregnancy and have to stop it one day before the c-section, also he gave me salicilic acid 81mg also folic acid for the first trimester I am about 35 weeks the baby is doing ok with a normal development so far, I took Xarelto until the first month because I didn't know I was pregnant. I am due next month, hopefully everything will go fine. I hope so
How are you doing? How many weeks do you have? Tell me about your experience.
