What is Xarelto used for?

Xarelto (rivaroxaban) is in a class of medications called factor Xa inhibitors. Xarelto (rivaroxaban) blocks the activity of certain clotting substances in the blood. Xarelto is an anticoagulant or blood thinner.

Xarelto is used to prevent or treat a type of blood clot called deep vein thrombosis (DVT), which can lead to blood clots in the lungs called pulmonary embolism (PE). A DVT can occur after knee or hip replacement surgery and during or after a stay in the hospital when you cannot move around as much as normal. Xarelto is sometimes used to lower your risk of a DVT or PE coming back after you have received treatment for blood clots for at least six months.

Xarelto is used in people with atrial fibrillation (a heart rhythm disorder) to lower the risk of stroke caused by a blood clot.

Xarelto is used to help prevent blood clots in certain people hospitalized for an acute illness who are at risk of getting blood clots and who do not have a high risk of bleeding.

Xarelto is also given with aspirin to lower the risk of stroke, heart attack, or other serious heart problems in people with coronary artery disease (decreased blood flow to the heart) or peripheral artery disease (decreased blood flow to the legs).

A doctor's prescription is required to obtain this medicine.
