Rivaflo 15mg

Rivaflo is a blood thinner medication used for the following conditions:

• Reduce the risk of stroke and blood clots in adults who have a medical condition called atrial fibrillation. With atrial fibrillation, part of the heart does not normally beat, which could lead to the formation of blood clots that can travel to the brain, causing a strike or to other body parts.
• Treat deep vein thrombosis (blood clots in the veins of your legs) or pulmonary embolism (blood clots in the lungs).
• Reduce the risk of blood clots from happening again in adults who continue to be at risk of blood clots in the veins of the legs and lungs.
• Help prevent a blood clot in the legs and lungs of adults who have just had hip or knee replacement surgery.
• Help prevent blood clots in certain adults hospitalized for an acute illness and after discharge who are more likely to develop blood clots because of the decreased ability to move around and another risk for getting blood clots and who do not have a high risk of bleeding.

How to use

Take the tablet once a day with your evening meal for atrial fibrillation that is not caused by a heart valve problem.   

For blood clots in the veins of your lungs and legs, take the tablet one or two times a day as prescribed by your doctor. Take the tablet with food at the same time each day.

For hip or knee replacement surgery, take the tablet one time a day with or without food.  

For blood clots in people hospitalized for an acute illness, take the tablet once a day before or after consuming food while in the hospital and after being discharged as instructed by your doctor.  

Precautions

Do not use Rivaflo 15 mg if you are allergic to Rivaroxaban or other ingredients in the Rivaflo tablet. It should be avoided in cases of active bleeding if they are excessively bleeding. The medicine should not be taken if you have a disease that increases the risk of serious bleeding. Concomitant use of other anti-coagulant agents such as warfarin,  dabigatran, heparin, or apixaban is contraindicated. Some other medicines may affect how Rivaflo works, causing side effects. Certain medications may increase the risk of bleeding. These are ketoconazole, erythromycin, ritonavir, phenytoin, rifampicin, carbamazepine, St. John’s wort, and ritonavir. Also, let your doctor know if you have a liver disease, which increases the risk of bleeding. Your doctor should also be aware of your pregnancy; if you are pregnant or planning to conceive before prescribing Rivaflo. Your dentist should be informed if you are taking Rivaroxaban before you have any surgery or dental procedure. It is not recommended in children less than six months of age.

Side effects

These are not all the possible side effects you may have when taking  Rivaflo.  As Rivaroxaban acts on the blood clotting system, most side effects are related to signs of bruising or bleeding. In some cases, bleeding may not be obvious, such as unexplained swelling. Patients treated with Rivaroxaban may also experience nausea, vomiting, constipation, stomach ache, digestion, diarrhea, and decreased general strength and energy. Report a side effect to your doctor to seek his advice.
