Question: are all blood thinners expensive?
Answer: Cost: Both Pradaxa and Xarelto cost just under $6,000 per year. Coumadin is available as a generic and costs $200 per year. Patients taking Coumadin must also have their blood clotting monitored, to reduce their risk of bleeding. If they go to the doctor, it costs anywhere from about $290 to $950 per year.
