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. xarelto® is the number one prescribed blood thinner in its class. well that calls for a round of kevin nealons. make mine an arnold palmer. same here. with xarelto® there is no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. treatment with xarelto® was the right move for us. ask your doctor about xarelto®. david here with a check of the accuweather forecast. a pretty glorious day out here. it looks like we are looking at a lot of those, stormtracker 6 live double scan currently shows you no precipitation as we take a look outside. we have plenty of sunshine up over the horizon on the action
