Pulmonary Embolism
"A warning for menstruating women...

I am a 28 year old female who was prescribed Xarelto for a Pulmoary Embolism. My menstrual period lasted 10  days with extremely heavy bleeding and clots. Normally it lasts 3-4 days and is very light. Soaked through an ultra tampon AND overnight pad every 2 hours. I went through a box of tampons every 2 days. I was not able to function at work, and it was ruining my relationship. I held my meds for a day and boom! Period went away. I believe that Xarelto prevented my endometrial lining from forming and staying in place."
