Edoxaban helps reduce the risk of strokes in patients with atrial fibrillation not caused by heart valve problems. Before starting treatment with this medication, patients must have their kidney function checked. Individuals who have poor kidney function cannot safely use this drug. This is an oral medication. Patients can take it with or without food. A frequent side effect of this medicine is anemia. Potential symptoms of this include cold hands and feet, pale skin, fatigue, lightheadedness, and shortness of breath.

Like other anticoagulants, edoxaban increases the risk of bleeding. Patients taking it should be careful when brushing their teeth or shaving. They should let their doctor know right away if they develop headaches, dizziness or weakness while taking this medication. Nosebleeds, bleeding gums, or signs of blood in the urine or stool will all need urgent attention. This medication can interact with a few others. Examples include antidepressants, anti-inflammatory medicines, and other anticoagulants.
