Xarelto contains 10 mg of Rivaroxaban, a direct oral anticoagulant designed to prevent and treat blood clots. It effectively inhibits factor Xa, a key enzyme in the blood coagulation process, thereby reducing the risk of thromboembolic events.
Key Features:
- Mechanism of Action: Rivaroxaban works by selectively blocking factor Xa, which plays a crucial role in the formation of blood clots. This action helps prevent strokes and systemic embolism in patients with specific cardiovascular conditions.
- Indications: Xarelto is indicated for:
- Prevention of stroke and systemic embolism in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation
- Treatment 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 regarding dosage and duration of treatment. The standard dosage for specific indications may vary, and your healthcare provider will tailor the regimen based on your condition and response.
- Administration: The tablets should be taken orally with water, with or without food. It’s essential to take them at the same time each day to ensure consistent therapeutic effects.
- Side Effects: Common side effects may include bleeding, bruising, dizziness, and gastrointestinal disturbances. Serious side effects can include severe bleeding or allergic reactions. If you notice any unusual symptoms, contact your healthcare provider immediately.
- Precautions: Not suitable for individuals with active bleeding, severe renal impairment, or hypersensitivity to Rivaroxaban. Always inform your healthcare provider about your complete medical history and any other medications you are currently taking, especially other anticoagulants.
Storage: Store at room temperature, away from moisture and heat. Keep out of reach of children.
Note: Xarelto 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.
