Rivaroxaban after hip replacement

After having a total hip replacement, I have been prescribed Rivaroxaban, which I take an hour before bedtime. It is making my mouth extremely dry and I an drinking a lot of water throughout the night, which is making me feel the need to pass more urine. I haven't had a decent night's sleep since I had the operation. I wondered if anyone else has had the same problem with Rixaroxaban?

Try using xylimelts for the dry mouth. I use them every night.

I get mine on-line; there are various websites - hope2sleep.co.uk, mouthulcers.co.uk, dental direct.co.uk, amazon. Just Google the name and various websites come up (it's worth checking the different sites for different offers)
