What is Xarelto (Rivaroxaban)?
Xarelto contains rivaroxaban, a direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) that inhibits factor Xa, a key protein involved in blood clot formation. By blocking this protein, Xarelto helps to thin the blood, prevent clot formation, and reduce the risk of stroke and clot-related conditions without the need for routine blood monitoring common with older anticoagulants.
Dosage of Xarelto (Rivaroxaban)
- For stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation: 20 mg once daily with food.

- For treatment of acute DVT and PE: 15 mg twice daily for the first 3 weeks, then 20 mg once daily.
- Duration of treatment is individualized based on risk and physician recommendation.
