May 18, 2024
Introduction
ROXARIVABEN 20 contains Rivaroxaban 20 mg, a next-generation oral anticoagulant belonging to the class of direct Factor Xa inhibitors. Developed as a more convenient and safer alternative to traditional anticoagulants, Rivaroxaban offers fixed dosing without routine INR monitoring, making it an ideal choice for long-term use in preventing and treating venous and arterial thromboembolic disorders.
Composition
-
Active Ingredient: Rivaroxaban 20 mg
-
Brand Name: ROXARIVABEN 20
-
Form: Oral tablet

Category: Anticoagulant / Cardiovascular
Mechanism of Action
Rivaroxaban selectively inhibits Factor Xa, a key enzyme in the coagulation cascade that converts prothrombin to thrombin. By blocking Factor Xa, it:
-
Prevents fibrin clot formation
-
Reduces the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), and stroke
-
Provides rapid onset and predictable anticoagulant effect

Treatment and prevention of pulmonary embolism (PE)
-
Stroke prevention in non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF)
-
Postoperative thromboprophylaxis after knee or hip replacement surgery
-
COVID-19 associated coagulopathy (under specific clinical protocols)
Rivaroxaban Dose for DVT
-
Treatment dose: Rivaroxaban 15 mg twice daily for the first 21 days, followed by 20 mg once daily (ROXARIVABEN 20) for maintenance.
Rivaroxaban Dose in COVID
In patients recovering from moderate to severe COVID-19 with elevated D-dimer or coagulopathy risk, rivaroxaban 10–20 mg once daily may be prescribed as part of extended thromboprophylaxis, under strict medical supervision.
Note: Off-label use in COVID-19 should follow updated clinical guidelines and physician discretion.
Rivaroxaban Synthesis (Brief Insight)
