prevention of thromboembolism in atrial fibrillation
"I've been taking 150mg x 2 per day for 5 weeks.  I started it prior to a right side A-flutter ablation, and then a month later, a left side A-fibrillation ablation.  I was on Coumadin for about two years while we got to the root cause of my cardiac issues, and I DO NOT miss bi-weekly sticks etc. when adjusting medicines up or down depending on INR results.  The only downside for me is the slight nausea and daily loose bowel movements.  I do a bit of traveling for work, and it can make the flying portion of travel rather nerve wrecking."
