What is Rivaroxaban? How does it work for blood clot prevention?

Understanding Rivaroxaban

Rivaroxaban, also known by its brand name Xarelto, is an anticoagulant medication prescribed to reduce the risk of stroke, treat deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and pulmonary embolism (PE). It is an oral pill that works by inhibiting specific blood clotting factors.

How does Rivaroxaban work?

Rivaroxaban inhibits Factor Xa, a crucial enzyme in the blood coagulation process. By blocking this factor, it prevents the formation of new clots and stops existing clots from growing, thereby lowering the risk of clot-related complications.

Who can prescribe Rivaroxaban?

Only licensed healthcare providers authorized to manage medication prescriptions, including MDs, DOs, Nurse Practitioners, Physician Assistants, and specialists, can prescribe Rivaroxaban. Telehealth providers on Klarity can evaluate and prescribe online if appropriate.
