CompositionRICOSPRIN 10 TABLET 15 is used to prevent and treat blood clots. It treats and prevents clots in the deep veins (deep vein thrombosis) and lungs (pulmonary embolism), reduces the risk of stroke in people with an irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation), and prevents clots after knee or hip replacement surgery.
It contains rivaroxaban, an anticoagulant (""blood thinner"") that reduces the blood's tendency to clot. Take it exactly as prescribed, at the same time each day, and do not stop it without medical advice, as this can raise the risk of clots.
Taking doses regularly and telling any doctor that you take this medicine support safe treatment alongside it.
Tell your doctor about any bleeding problems, or liver or kidney problems, before starting, and about other medicines you take, especially other blood thinners or anti-inflammatory painkillers. Report black or bloody stools, vomiting blood, unusual bruising, prolonged bleeding or a severe headache.
