Yes, it is MUCH more expensive. It is about $600 for a 30 day supply.
With my insurance it was running around $180 per month. I signed up for
some program from the manufacturer and was able to get it for $10 a
month. In any case, after a little google searching, Xarelto is not
effective for patients with whatever syndrome is that I have. That
would explain why the doctor is switching my medication.

The new stuff requires much less testing, which is also expensive and
profitable. It also has fewer side effects, like bleeding complications,
and it is generally better at preventing most sorts of clots than warfarin.
Antiphospholipid Ab syndrome is one of the few things where the new drugs
have not proven categorically superior to warfarin.

Maybe the old warfarin based stuff has a history of working, where the new
stuff is a profit center?

As you may recall a while back I was in the hospital due to blood clots.
They put me on Xarelto. It was still a mystery as to why this happened in
the first place. My primary doctor sent me to a cancer doctor to figure it
out. Went back to him for the 2nd time last week to run tests. Turns out I
evidently have something called antiphospholid antibody syndrome. They are
moving me from Xarelto to Coumadin for some reason which will require me to
get blood tests weekly for a few weeks then monthly after. I guess I will
ask but not sure why they would take me off the newer state of the art
blood thinner that requires no testing to this older cheaper medication
that does.
