Nose bleeds & xarelto

[Tilly1957]

Hi guys, a few weeks ago I posted I was getting sudden nose bleeds. I did speak with a GP and he prescribed Naseptin - saying it’s often due to staph in the nose and as we get older the membranes are thinner etc etc He said my bp readings were fine and gave me upper limits to not go over (preferably) - can’t recall what he said though 😂 I wasn’t holding out much hope he had got this right, as I was convinced it was to do with the change to rivaoxaban a few months ago. However, I am pleased to say he was right! The cream to put up my nose worked. 🥰

That's interesting to know Tilly, thank you for sharing.

I had a dreadful nose bleed that put me in hospital for a few days last year and when discharged was also prescribed Naseptin. I take Warfarin and have done for many years. I'm now more gentle when washing my face, think I may have been a little heavy handed at times.
