Rivaban 10 Tablet contains rivaroxaban (10 mg), which works on your body as follows:

• Factor Xa Inhibition: Rivaroxaban selectively blocks the activity of factor Xa, an important protein involved in blood coagulation. This process involves the transformation of liquid blood into a solid mass to prevent excessive bleeding.

• Decreased Thrombin Generation: By inhibiting factor Xa, rivaroxaban effectively decreases thrombin generation. Thrombin is another critical protein that facilitates clot formation.

• Clot Prevention: The overall effect of rivaroxaban's action is a significant reduction in clot formation in your blood vessels, helping prevent dangerous conditions like DVTs and PEs.
