Rivaroxaban and alchohol

[jimmysouthgates]

Hi, just started rivaroxaban. Going to a wedding next week and was wondering how people get on with drinking alchohol with it. Im gonna drink but dont know what I can get away with. Any input appreciated.

I have had no problem with this med and alcohol, I guess you just need to be sensible and drink in moderation.

Enjoy!!

Lol no probs! I still have had many a bender when im with my pals and been fine! Been taking it for two years now, only time i couldnt drink was when i was in persistant af, i take xarelto 20 mg one a day

Everything in moderation with perhaps the occasional lapse.... and there's no problem at all.

Be sensible, drink in moderation, your health is far more important than a few hours of pleasure.

I am on warfarin and have very mild symptomless AF. I find 3 cans beer or half bottle wine has no effect on me, and I set these limits, because on two previous occasions I did drink more than one bottle of wine and both times it brought an episode of AF

Drink a pint of beer then a pint of water then another beer and water again still enjoy the day but keeps you in check only prob is need to go to the loo a bit more hey its worth it to enjoy yourself

i agree - dehydration is not your friend...this is how i am trying to do it when i have a drink, seems to be working okay so far. i am not taking this med, but i just think this is good advice in general for those of us watching our heart rhythm.
