Don't Add Xarelto for Most Coronary or Peripheral Artery Disease Patients

December 2018

You'll hear debate about adding Xarelto (rivaroxaban) to aspirin for stable coronary artery disease (CAD) or peripheral artery disease (PAD).

In fact, there's a new Xarelto 2.5 mg dose...to be given twice daily WITH aspirin 81 mg/day to reduce CV events in chronic CAD or PAD patients.

You may hear reps call this the "vascular" dose of Xarelto...versus the 10, 15, and 20 mg doses for venous thromboembolism or atrial fib.
