Rivaroxaban

Rivaroxaban is a blood thinner medication used to prevent blood clots in certain conditions. It helps reduce the risk of stroke, heart attack, and deep vein thrombosis (DVT).

Uses: Rivaroxaban is commonly used to:

• Prevent stroke in people with atrial fibrillation (irregular heart rhythm)
• Prevent deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) after certain surgeries
• Treat DVT and PE

Important Considerations (Prescription Required):

1. Bleeding Risk: Rivaroxaban increases the risk of bleeding. Inform your doctor about any bleeding disorders or if you are taking other medications that may increase bleeding risk.
2. Surgery: If you need surgery, inform your doctor about your Rivaroxaban use. You may need to stop taking it temporarily.
3. Regular Monitoring: Your doctor may need to monitor your blood clotting factors and adjust your dosage as needed.
