Rivaban 20 Tablet 10 contains rivaroxaban (20 mg) and works as follows:

• Inhibits Factor Xa: Rivaroxaban blocks Factor Xa, which is the active form of clotting Factor X in your body. This factor plays a crucial role in blood clot formation.

• Decreases thrombin generation: By blocking the activity of Factor Xa, rivaroxaban effectively reduces the generation of thrombin, a substance that contributes to blood clot formation.

• Reduces thrombus formation: As a direct result of decreased thrombin generation, the medicine contributes to a reduction in thrombus, or blood clot, formation.

This action prevents harmful blood clots from forming in your blood vessels.
