do not take xarelto if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto , tell your doctor about any kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. you know xarelto is the #1 prescribed blood thinner in its class. that's a big win. it is for me. with xarelto there is no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary strictions. treatment with xarelto . ...was the right move for us. ask your doctor about xarelto . coming up on cbs2 news at 5:00, new products are popping up offering help for fertility without a prescription, but are they safe? we will take a look. >> and at 6:00, overfrustrated railroad long island riders have had enough and are rallying to get the attention of lawmakers. those stories and more beginning on cbs2 news at 5:00. and a jewelry set worth $21 million has been given the
