Drug Info for xarelto
Rivaroxaban is used to treat deep vein thrombosis (DVT; a blood clot, usually in the leg) and pulmonary embolism (PE; a blood clot in the lung) in adults. Rivaroxaban is also used to prevent DVT and PE from happening again after initial treatment is completed in adults. It is also used to help prevent strokes or serious blood clots in adults who have atrial fibrillation (a condition in which the heart beats irregularly, increasing the chance of clots forming in the body, and possibly causing strokes) that is not caused by heart valve disease. Rivaroxaban is also used to prevent DVT and PE in adults who are having hip replacement or knee replacement surgery or in people who are hospitalized for serious illnesses and are at risk of developing a clot due to decreased ability to move around or other risk factors. It is also used along with aspirin to lower the risk of a heart attack, stroke, or death in adults with coronary artery disease (narrowing of the blood vessels that supply blood to the heart) or peripheral arterial disease (poor circulation in the blood vessels that supply blood to the arms and legs). Rivaroxaban is also used to treat and prevent DVT and PE from happening again in children and certain infants who have received at least 5 days of initial anticoagulation (blood thinner) treatment. It is also used to prevent DVT and PE after heart surgery in children 2 years of age or older who have congenital heart disease (abnormality in the heart that develops before birth). Rivaroxaban is in a class of medications called factor Xa inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of a certain natural substance that helps blood clots to form.
Xarelto a brand-name blood thinner that prevents and treats blood clots. Xarelto is commonly prescribed to patients who have an irregular heartbeat. It is also prescribed to patients who have recently undergone hip or knee replacement surgery when blood clots are more likely to form in the legs or lungs. Xarelto costs $553.65, but you can use a Xarelto coupon from OptionRx to save money on your next refill.

Xarelto is an anticoagulant, or anti-clotting medication. This blood thinner can prevent and treat blood clots in adults, lowering your risk of stroke, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism, and similar conditions. Your doctor may prescribe Xarelto if you have an irregular heartbeat (also called atrial fibrillation). You may also be prescribed Xarelto as you recover from hip or knee replacement surgery. In these surgeries, blood clots may develop in your legs, causing deep vein thrombosis, or your lungs, increasing your risk for a pulmonary embolism.
Xarelto is available in 10 mg, 15 mg, and 20 mg tablets. Xarelto may be taken by mouth once or twice a day. Always follow your doctor’s specific instructions and medical advice, as your medical condition and response to treatment will be important factors in determining your dosage. If you have been prescribed a stronger dose of Xarelto your doctor will likely advise you to take this prescription medication with food. Xarelto is most commonly prescribed to adults—not children.
Some possible side effects of Xarelto include easy bruising and minor bleeding, such as nosebleeds. More serious side effects of Xarelto that require medical attention are swelling; prolonged or persistent bleeding from cuts, nosebleeds, menstruation, or gums; dizziness or fainting; tiredness or weakness; and difficulty swallowing. Note: This is not a complete list of possible side effects.
Xarelto belongs in the drug class Xa inhibitor, meaning it is an anti-clotting agent. Although rare, if you experience uncontrollable bleeding while taking Xarelto or another Xa inhibitor, such as Eliquis, your doctor may use Andexxa to reverse the effects of Xarelto. Andexxa is the first Xa inhibitor antidote. It was approved by the FDA and released in the United States in May 2018.
The following is a list of some possible interactions that could affect how Xarelto works or worsen its side effects:
- Alcohol may worsen side effects of Xarelto
- Aspirin is another blood thinner that could increase your risk of bleeding while taking Xarelto
- Caffeine may increase the risk of stomach bleeding
- Certain antidepressants may interact with Xarelto
- Certain azole antifungals may affect the removal of rivaroxaban from your body
- Some seizure medications may affect the removal of rivaroxaban from your body
Xarelto has gained popularity over warfarin as a slightly safer alternative. They are both used to prevent and treat blood clots that could result in stroke and heart attacks. However, Xarelto has a lower risk of causing a stroke or bleeding, particularly in the brain. Warfarin also requires regular blood tests to monitor its efficacy while Xarelto does not. Other anticoagulants include Eliquis, Lixiana, and Pradaxa. Your doctor will determine which prescription medication is better for your medical condition.
