Sorry it's taken so long to get back to you. I take 20 mg of Rivaroxaban daily.

I take it after breakfast.

I purposely have read all the blurb as I know I would then have everything on the list.

So far. I've been fine.

Good luck and try not to worry about it if you are feeling ok. Bebe.

Hi Abisue, I found my hair much thinner since taking the Warfarin. Luckily I have very thick hair so not too drastic.

My hair got quite thin on warfarin, but seems to be recovering since being on rivaroxaban, no other side effects either

My hair loss was primarily due to ageing and preceded going onto Apixaban! :)

Hi Abisue

Been on rivaroxiban for 2 years and if anything my hair seems to have grown thicker.

Even my hairdresser has commented

We think we may have found the cure for baldness
