RIVARIGHT 20 MG – 14 TABLETS

RIVARIGHT 20MG (Rivaroxaban 20MG) is an oral anticoagulant, also known as a blood thinner, that helps prevent and treat blood clots. By inhibiting Factor Xa, a key enzyme in the blood clotting process, RIVARIGHT 20MG reduces the likelihood of clot formation. This medication is essential for individuals at risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), and those with non-valvular atrial fibrillation, significantly lowering the risk of stroke and heart attack.

### Ingredients:
– **Rivaroxaban**: The active ingredient, rivaroxaban, effectively inhibits Factor Xa, preventing clot formation.
– **Excipients**: Includes microcrystalline cellulose, lactose monohydrate, and magnesium stearate, which help in tablet stability and effectiveness.

## Usage Instructions:
1. **Dosage**: Take one tablet of RIVARIGHT 20MG daily with food.
2. **Timing**: Preferably at the same time each day to maintain consistent blood levels.
3. **Missed Dose**: If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember on the same day. Do not take a double dose to make up for the missed one.
4. **Consistency**: Do not stop taking RIVARIGHT 20MG without consulting your healthcare provider.

## Medicinal Advantages:
– **DVT and PE Prevention**: Effectively reduces the risk of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism.
– **Stroke and Heart Attack Risk Reduction**: Significantly lowers the chance of stroke and heart attack in at-risk patients.
– **Comprehensive Clot Prevention**: Prevents and treats clots in the veins of the legs, lungs, brain, and heart.

## Mechanism of Action:
RIVARIGHT 20MG works by selectively inhibiting Factor Xa, an enzyme vital to the blood clotting process. By blocking this enzyme, Rivaroxaban prevents the formation of clots and helps maintain smooth blood flow, thereby reducing the risk of clot-related events such as DVT, PE, stroke, and heart attack.

## Off-Label Uses:
Some potential off-label uses include the treatment of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) and as a preventive measure in patients undergoing orthopedic surgery, though these should be considered only under medical supervision.
