Xarelto is a medication that contains the active ingredient rivaroxaban, which belongs to a class of drugs known as anticoagulants or blood thinners. Xarelto works by helping to prevent the formation of harmful blood clots in your blood vessels, reducing the risk of stroke, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and pulmonary embolism. This medication is suitable for individuals who need to lower their risk of blood clots due to conditions like atrial fibrillation, recent hip or knee replacement surgery, or deep vein thrombosis.
About Xarelto
Dosage and usage
Your dosage of Xarelto will depend on your specific medical condition. Typically, the recommended dose for preventing blood clots after hip or knee replacement surgery is 10 mg once daily. For stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation, the usual dose is 20 mg once daily with the evening meal. It's important to take Xarelto as prescribed by your healthcare provider and do not exceed the recommended dose. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it's almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule.
What Xarelto contains
Xarelto contains the active ingredient rivaroxaban. Each tablet of Xarelto may contain 10 mg, 15 mg, or 20 mg of rivaroxaban. In addition to the active ingredient, Xarelto tablets may also contain excipients such as microcrystalline cellulose, croscarmellose sodium, hypromellose, lactose monohydrate, and magnesium stearate.
Side effects
Common side effects of Xarelto may include bleeding, bruising, and dizziness. Serious side effects that require immediate medical attention include signs of bleeding such as pink or brown urine, red or black stools, or coughing up blood. Allergic reactions to Xarelto are rare but seek medical help if you experience symptoms like rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, or trouble breathing.
Precautions
It's important to note that Xarelto is not suitable for everyone. Do not use Xarelto if you have active bleeding, a history of bleeding disorders, or severe liver disease. Pregnant women and children should also avoid using Xarelto. If you have a heart condition or are taking other blood-thinning medications, speak to your doctor before starting Xarelto to prevent potential interactions or complications.

I am so grateful to Doctoronline.co.uk and I can’t express my appreciation enough, as they were there when I couldn’t get an appointment with my own NHS GP here in London.They are absolutely amazing and they have taken away the stress and anxiety that I felt when I needed a GP appointment and the thought of going through the whole process and worrying about missing a telephone call from my GP practice because I was working and knowing they wouldn’t call back .
Excellent service.

Very efficient
Very efficient. The website order form was simple and easy to follow. I couldn't get a doctor's appointment for a medication I have previously been prescribed so I opted to buy from this company instead. The price was reasonable and the medication worked perfectly and quickly and eradicated the problem, I'm back to good health again. It arrived quickly. I wouldn't hesitate to use this company again if necessary when I can't get a doctor's appointment.
