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.
