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.

• Store your Rivaban 10 Tablet at room temperature, ideally around 20 to 25 degrees Celsius.

• Keep the product in a cool, dry place, away from direct light and moisture.

• Ensure it's kept out of the reach and sight of children.

• Always check the expiry date before use. If it's expired, please discard appropriately.

• If you're taking Rivaban 10 Tablet to manage deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism, consider wearing compression stockings to help improve blood flow in your legs.
