Edoxaban

[Pio1260]

I have recently been prescribed Edoxaban for AF. Reading about this drug on line I noticed that a S. Korean Drug testing organisation and the FDA give a severe warning about using Edoxaban if one has a CrCl reading greater than 95ml/min as the kidneys can take it out of the blood stream and it becomes ineffective. My anti coag clinic had not heard of this and told me that British standards of testing were very robust and I should not worry. I have a CrCl reading of 105 ml/min. The FDA would not give out warnings if there was no danger. Can anyone help

I would insist on speaking to the medic who prescribed it ,to give you peace of mind. The anti coag clinic personnel are not doctors!

Best wishes
