Frequently asked questions about rivaroxaban

Medically reviewed by:Dr. Allison Edwards, MD

Rivaroxaban is a prescription medication used to treat and prevent a number of blood clotting concerns, as well as a variety of heart and vascular conditions (such as stroke and coronary artery disease). It is also prescribed to patients who have recently undergone hip and knee surgery to prevent blood clots from forming in the lower body.

Rivaroxaban is a prescription medication used to treat deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Deep vein thrombosis - also known as DVT - occurs when a blood clot forms in a vein located deep inside the body. DVT is frequently found in the thigh and lower legs, but may also occur in other parts of the body.

Common symptoms of deep vein thrombosis include:

  • Pain or swelling in the affected leg (DVT rarely occurs in both legs)
  • Blue or reddish skin over the affected area
  • A feeling of warmth over the affected area

By treating and preventing DVT, rivaroxaban also works to prevent a pulmonary embolism - a condition in which blood clots travel through blood vessels and become lodged in the lungs. This medication is prescribed to individuals who have been diagnosed with one of these conditions. It is also prescribed as a preventative measure for individuals who have recently undergone hip or knee replacement (preventing blood clots from occurring after surgery).

In addition to its use as a treatment and preventative measure against blood clots, rivaroxaban is also prescribed to treat or prevent strokes and blood clots in patients with heart problems. It is also used in conjunction with aspirin to reduce the risk of heart disease, heart attack, and coronary artery disease.

Rivaroxaban is classified as an anticoagulant agent, a type of prescription medication that prevents blood clots from forming in the body. While blood clotting is a natural, and sometimes helpful, process that occurs in the body, coagulated blood clots can cause serious symptoms and complications such as pulmonary embolism. By preventing blood from clotting, rivaroxaban helps prevent DVT, pulmonary embolism, and other vascular conditions.

Rivaroxaban has been shown to cause some mild side effects. If these adverse effects become severe or do not go away within a few days, talk to your health care provider.

Common side effects reported while taking rivaroxaban include:

  • Muscle spasms
  • Stomach pain
  • Back pain
  • Headache
  • Heavy menstrual bleeding

This is not a complete list of adverse reactions. Seek medical attention right away if you experience symptoms such as a change in your urine or stool, bloody vomit, nosebleeds, bleeding from the gums, dizziness, or difficulty breathing.

As with all prescription medication, be sure to inform the prescribing doctor about any medical conditions you have been previously diagnosed with, as well as any medication/ supplements you are currently taking before starting treatment with rivaroxaban. Rivaroxaban can interact with other forms of medication and substances, causing potentially serious side effects. In addition, let your doctor know if you are pregnant or plan on becoming pregnant before starting treatment with this medication.

Rivaroxaban is commonly administered as an oral tablet. The specific dosage of the medication will depend on your age, and the condition you are receiving treatment for. The dose of rivaroxaban usually starts at 5-15 mg, to be taken once or twice a day depending on the strength of the medication. Talk to your doctor about your specific dosage, and any special instructions they may have about how and when to take the medication.

Do not discontinue or increase your dosage of rivaroxaban without consulting your doctor first. Take the medication exactly as prescribed, and inform your doctor if you begin to experience any side effects while taking the medication.

Rivaroxaban is currently only available via prescription. This means the use of this drug must be authorized by a licensed health care provider.
