Xarelto, Flecanide, Ketoprofen

[Summerlily]

I take Xarelto 20mg and Flecanide 150mgMy doctor has prescribed Ketoprofen 100mg for head and neck pain

Has anyone had experience of taking these drugs together please ?

I trust my doctor but in all the articles I have read Xarelto and Ketoprofen should not be taken together

Any observations would be really helpful

Thank you

I agree that NSAIDs should not be taken with anticoagulation. I'm not familiar with the drug you mention but an "ofen" sounds like an NSAID to me. These drugs aerealso contra indicated with AF as a cause. I suggest you discuss with your pharmacist as they aer experts in drugs.

Sorry, I don't have the experience of these drugs which you requested, but have you seen the interactions returned on the drugs.com website, as follows ...

It seems you will need further discussions with your doctor. Good luck.

I have been prescribed Oruvail which is another brand of Ketoprofen but in a gel. GP would not prescibe tablet form only the gel to be applied to affected joint area. I am also prescribed prescription strength parcetamol/codiene for joint pain, not as effective as NSAID's but the normal one if you are on anticoagulants, I too am on Xarelto. I have had no prblem with using the gel as it does not get into the blood stream. I think you should contact your GP ask why he has prescribed a NSAID when it is generally a not advised.
