I have been on it for two years after coming off Warfarin. I had absolutely no side effects and it suits me very well. Don’t worry about side effects. I’m sure they are very rare.

Thanks Visgirl. I know the components of it have been around for a while. I was really asking, I suppose, what people's experience of side effects are/were. I am about 5' tall and weigh around 58kg. I'm worried about dizziness on it as I am the only driver. I haven't started it yet.

It's Endoxaban. They have used that and Apixaban for many years now.
Most people are on these if they need Anticoagulant.

I have been prescribed this blood thinner. I gather it is now the approved one. Is there anyone on the site with experience of this? Thanks.
