IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT XARELTO

• XARELTO can cause bleeding which can be serious and may lead to death. This is because XARELTO is a blood thinner medicine (anticoagulant) that lowers blood clotting. During treatment with XARELTO you are likely to bruise more easily, and it may take longer for bleeding to stop¹.
  • You may have a higher risk of bleeding if you take XARELTO and have certain other medical problems or take other medicines that increase your risk of bleeding.
    • Please see the MEDICATION GUIDE for a list of other medications that increase your risk of bleeding and signs or symptoms of bleeding.¹
  • Call your doctor or get medical help right away if you develop any signs or symptoms of bleeding.

summary

Here is a passage from the XARELTO MEDICATION GUIDE and PRESCRIBING INFORMATION which may be helpful to address your question:

Is there a reversal agent for XARELTO?

• XARELTO increases the risk of bleeding and can cause serious and fatal bleeding.¹
• If someone takes too much XARELTO, it may cause serious bleeding. If this happens, you should stop taking XARELTO and get medical help right away.¹
• Sometimes, doctors might use a special medicine called activated charcoal to help if someone takes too much XARELTO.¹
• Because XARELTO sticks to proteins in the blood, it cannot be removed using dialysis (a process to clean the blood).¹
• There is a specific medicine that can reverse (or stop) the effects of XARELTO.¹
• There are other medicines that might help stop bleeding, but they haven't been fully tested to know if they work well and are safe.¹
• It is not recommended to check how well XARELTO is working using blood tests like PT, INR, or aPTT or checking anti-factor Xa activity.¹
