Rivaroxaban and Ventricular tachycardia - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Ventricular tachycardia is reported as a side effect among people who take Rivaroxaban (rivaroxaban), especially for people who are male, 60+ old, have been taking the drug for 2 - 5 years also take Furosemide, and have Atrial fibrillation/flutter.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes which people have Ventricular tachycardia when taking Rivaroxaban. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 26,430 people who have side effects when taking Rivaroxaban from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
