I don't know much about the actual condition you have, I would assume coumadin
is more effective in that situation that other anti-coagulants.

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

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

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

Prasugrel is a platelet inhibitor. Warfarin is a vitamin K-dependent
clotting factor inhibitor (II, VII, IX, X). Xarelto and other doacs inhibit
specific clotting factors (eg Xa and II). All of these factors and
platelets play roles in the cascade leading to blood clot formation.

It's not that you don't clot, it's that clotting is reduced. I suppose
different medications act differently but at least with the Prasugrel that I
use I just bleed a little more when I get cut. It's not dramatic which is good
because I cut myself a lot...

So if you accidentally get a cut or severe injury, you won't bleed out (if
you have the antidote and a tourniquet ready).

That is my understanding. With the new ones there is not a way to reverse it
quickly, have to wait for it to wear off. With the older ones you can.

Yes and no. My father was on warfarin for a mechanical heart valve and even
though he checked his INR monthly as recommended, it did not end well for him-
INR grossly elevated resulting in brain stem bleed and death.

Does this thinner also have the advantage of an antidote (probably not the
right word) that reverses the effect on the event of an emergency or surgery?
I think the newer medications do not enjoy this feature.

I have several work associates, and my mother-in-law is on Coumadin. It seems
like once they get you dialed in by taking those couple of blood tests, you’re
good to go.

I've been taking Prasugrel for the last 2 and a bit years. It doesn't require
regular testing for which I am thankful.

The evidence for the DOACs like Xarelto for antiphopholipid antibody is not
as strong as the evidence for warfarin. There is some suggestion that
Xarelto etc may not work as well for arterial clots, though they both seem
to work OK for venous clots. Anyway it has not been super well studied but
Sounds like a good question for the doc
