    Hello S , 

    Xarelto is another name for Rivaroxaban , a new alternative anti-coagulant to Warfarin that does not need monitoring . Drugs .com list 350 drugs that interact with Xarelto ( about 1359 brand names ) so it is too complicated to comment . Why do ask about steroids ? these are not normally connected with anti-coagulants . what country are you posting from ?

    My husband tried Riveroxaban, and the side effects were awful. Are you having side effects and thats why you ask about steroids? If so, go back to your consultant and get changed to something different as soon as possible.

    My husband is now trying apixaban. So far (one month) he is OK.

    There is no reversal for a bleed with both of these drugs though, unless going to hospital and having an intrevenous drug.
