Ricosprin 2.5 Tablet contains rivaroxaban (2.5 mg), which acts on your body in the following ways:

• Inhibition of Factor Xa: Rivaroxaban works by selectively blocking Factor Xa, an enzyme that plays a crucial role in the process of blood clotting.

• Reduction of thrombin formation: By inhibiting Factor Xa, rivaroxaban effectively minimises the formation of thrombin, a key substance in blood clot formation, thereby reducing the chances of clot development.

• The ideal storage temperature is below 30°C.

• To protect from moisture, keep the tablet strip inside its original packaging until it's time to take one.
