I'm taking Eliquis and I have been experiencing constant itchiness on my back, head and eyes. I'm considering switching to xarelto, hoping I won't experience itchiness with it.
I would appreciate your feedback.

@Golden I read somewhere that if you have kidney disease it could be the cause of itching. My head itches and never had that before but I do have CKD. Best wishes! Sue 581 BTW - Happy Birthday!
