Xeralto

I have been on Cumadin for more than 4 years.  Is there any benefit in switching to Xeralto?  I have heard the Xeralto may have some sever side effects such as dizziness and bleeding in the eye.

I use Warfarin, real inexpensive,  I think it is the same as coumadin.  I have never had dizziness with from Warfarin, beta blockers, yep they can cause dizziness.  

Careful control of the medication range should prevent any bleeding problems.  There too, lucky me, I have never had a bleeding problem... yep, when cut I bleed more freely, I think, but have never had a problem stopping with pressure and a tight (pressure) bandage.

My cardiologist told me it is expensive and has no antidote.  With Coumadin,  in the even tof an emergency, you can be given Vitamin K or plasma.  I have been on Coumadin 2-1/2 years and check my INR at home.  I have not had any problems with it.  I do have to keep my vitamin K intake consistent and many medicines interact with coumadin.  Good luck.
