💊 What is Xarelto (Rivaroxaban) 10 mg?
Xarelto is the brand name for Rivaroxaban, a direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC). The 10 mg tablet is typically used to prevent blood clots (deep vein thrombosis or DVT) especially after surgeries like knee or hip replacement.
🔬 Drug Class:Anticoagulant
Direct Factor Xa Inhibitor
Rivaroxaban works by:
Inhibiting Factor Xa, an essential enzyme in the coagulation cascade
This prevents the formation of thrombin, a key substance needed to form clots
As a result, it helps prevent or treat blood clots in veins or arteries
Unlike older anticoagulants (like warfarin), Rivaroxaban works without requiring routine blood monitoring.
🩺 Uses of Xarelto 10 mg:Condition | Use |
---|---|
Postoperative DVT prophylaxis | After hip or knee replacement surgery |
Prevention of venous thromboembolism (VTE) | Especially in high-risk patients |
May be used off-label or in certain regions for DVT/PE treatment after initial higher dose (e.g. 15 mg, then 10 mg) |
Note: For atrial fibrillation, DVT treatment, or stroke prevention, higher doses (15 mg or 20 mg) are typically used.
📏 Dosage of 10 mg Tablet:Situation | Typical Dose |
---|---|
After knee replacement surgery | 10 mg once daily for 12 days |
After hip replacement surgery | 10 mg once daily for 35 days |
General VTE prevention | As directed (often 10 mg daily) |
Take with or without food. For higher doses (15/20 mg), take with food.
💊 Drug Interactions:Other anticoagulants/antiplatelets (e.g. aspirin, clopidogrel) → increased bleeding risk
NSAIDs (ibuprofen, diclofenac) → increased bleeding risk
Rifampicin, phenytoin, carbamazepine → reduce rivaroxaban levels (less effective)
Azole antifungals, ritonavir → increase rivaroxaban levels (risk of bleeding)
Fixed dosing (no routine INR monitoring like warfarin)
Rapid onset of action
Convenient oral tablet
Shorter half-life compared to warfarin
Missed dose: Take as soon as possible the same day. Skip if it's almost time for the next dose.
Overdose: Can lead to life-threatening bleeding—seek emergency care.
Surgery: Must be stopped in advance to reduce bleeding risk—follow doctor’s guidance.
