Roxarivaben 20 mg (Rivaroxaban)
Roxarivaben 20 mg contains rivaroxaban, a direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) that selectively inhibits factor Xa. It is used to prevent stroke in non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF), to treat deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), and to prevent recurrence after initial therapy. The 20 mg strength is the standard once-daily therapeutic dose for many adult indications.
Rivaroxaban provides predictable anticoagulation without the need for routine INR monitoring, but must be used strictly under medical supervision due to bleeding risks and drug interactions.
Product introduction
Rivaroxaban blocks factor Xa, a key enzyme in the coagulation cascade, preventing clot formation and propagation. Its rapid onset, fixed dosing, and oral administration make it a commonly used DOAC worldwide. Roxarivaben 20 mg is often prescribed once daily with food to ensure optimal absorption and anticoagulant effect.
Uses of Roxarivaben 20 mg (Rivaroxaban)
- Stroke prevention in non-valvular atrial fibrillation
- Treatment of DVT and PE (after initial higher-dose phase if applicable)
- Secondary prevention of recurrent DVT/PE
- VTE prevention in select high-risk patients (specialist-directed)
Note: Dosages vary depending on indication and renal function. Follow clinician-specific instructions.
Benefits of Roxarivaben 20 mg
- Once-daily dosing: convenient and improves adherence.
- No routine INR monitoring: predictable anticoagulant effect.
- Effective stroke prevention: widely used in AF patients.
- Effective for DVT/PE: treats active clots and prevents recurrence.
In Treatment of Worm infections
This section is included only for template consistency. Rivaroxaban does NOT treat parasitic or worm infections.
Recommended dosing
Typical examples (clinician-adjusted):
- Non-valvular AF: 20 mg once daily with food. Reduced dose (15 mg daily) may be used in renal impairment.
- DVT/PE treatment: Often 15 mg twice daily for 21 days → then 20 mg once daily with food.
- Extended prevention: Some patients may continue 20 mg daily or transition to 10 mg daily based on risk.
Never adjust your dose without medical direction.

How to use Roxarivaben 20 mg

How Roxarivaben works
Rivaroxaban inhibits factor Xa, preventing conversion of prothrombin to thrombin, reducing fibrin clot formation. This protects against abnormal clotting in AF and treats venous thromboembolism.
Safety advice
| Bleeding risk | Higher with NSAIDs, antiplatelets, alcohol excess, or previous bleeding history. |
| Kidney function | Dose adjustments may be necessary in renal impairment; periodic monitoring is recommended. |
| Liver impairment | Use with caution; contraindicated in severe hepatic disease affecting coagulation. |
| Pregnancy | Generally avoided — discuss alternatives with your clinician. |
| Drug interactions | Avoid strong CYP3A4 and P-gp inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole, ritonavir) and inducers (e.g., rifampicin, carbamazepine) unless specialist manages therapy. |
What if you forget a dose?
- Take the missed dose as soon as you remember on the same day.
- Do NOT take two doses at once.
- Resume the normal schedule the following day.

Patient concerns
Will 20 mg protect me from stroke? Yes — 20 mg daily with food is the standard stroke-prevention dose for most AF patients unless renal impairment requires a reduced dose.
Will I need regular blood tests? Not for INR, but kidney & liver function may be checked periodically.
User feedback
Patients appreciate the single daily dose and the lack of dietary restrictions required for warfarin. The main concern is bleeding, which is manageable with proper education and follow-up.
