I have AF and am on Rivaroxaban! have been on it 3 about 4 yrs, I have had no side effects, only need blood tests at my drs surgery bythe nurseevery 6 months.If you take it the same time every day with meals then you are protected. i take mine at 6pm with my evening meal. I set my watch alarm for 6pm so that I am never missing a dose!
