Rivaban contains 10 mg of Rivaroxaban, an oral anticoagulant medication used to prevent and treat blood clots. As a direct factor Xa inhibitor, Rivaban effectively reduces the risk of thromboembolic events in various medical conditions.
Key Features:
- Mechanism of Action: Rivaroxaban works by selectively inhibiting factor Xa, an enzyme crucial in the coagulation cascade. This action helps prevent the formation of blood clots, thereby reducing the risk of stroke and systemic embolism.
- Indications: Rivaban is indicated for:
- Prevention of stroke and systemic embolism in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation
- Treatment and prevention of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE)
- Prevention of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients undergoing hip or knee replacement surgery
- Dosage: Follow your healthcare provider’s instructions for the appropriate dosage and duration of treatment. The usual starting dose for DVT and PE treatment is typically higher, followed by maintenance doses.
- Administration: The tablets should be taken orally with water, with or without food. It is important to take them at the same time each day to maintain effective anticoagulation.
- Side Effects: Common side effects may include bleeding, bruising, headache, dizziness, and gastrointestinal upset. Rarely, severe side effects such as allergic reactions or significant bleeding may occur. Contact your healthcare provider if you experience any unusual symptoms.
- Precautions: Not suitable for individuals with active bleeding or severe hypersensitivity to Rivaroxaban. Always inform your healthcare provider of your complete medical history and any other medications you are taking, especially anticoagulants or antiplatelet drugs.
Storage: Store at room temperature, away from moisture and heat. Keep out of reach of children.
Note: Rivaban should be used under the supervision of a healthcare professional. Adhere strictly to the prescribed treatment regimen and consult your doctor with any questions or concerns regarding your health.
