1. Why am I using Rivaroxaban Lupin?
Rivaroxaban Lupin contains the active ingredient rivaroxaban. Rivaroxaban Lupin belongs to a group of medicines called anticoagulants. It works by inhibiting the blood clotting protein called Factor Xa, thus reducing the tendency of blood to form clots.
Rivaroxaban Lupin has been prescribed to you for one of the following uses:
- Prevention of blood clots in your veins after a hip or knee replacement operation because after an operation you are at an increased risk of getting blood clots.
- Prevention of blood clots in your brain (stroke) and/or other blood vessels in your body if you have a form of irregular heart rhythm called non-valvular atrial fibrillation.
- Treatment of blood clots in the veins of your legs (deep vein thrombosis or DVT) and clots in your lung (pulmonary embolism or PE) and to prevent blood clots from re-occurring in your legs and/or lungs.
Rivaroxaban Lupin 2.5 mg tablets twice daily along with aspirin 100 mg once daily, has been prescribed to you for:
- Prevention of major heart related events (stroke, heart attack and death from heart related conditions) if you have poor blood flow in the blood vessels of your heart (coronary artery disease or CAD) and/or arms and legs (peripheral artery disease or PAD).
