Rivaflo 10 Tablet is taken orally.

Rivaflo 10 Tablet contains rivaroxaban (10 mg). Here's how it works:

• Inhibition of Factor Xa: Rivaroxaban acts by inhibiting an enzyme called Factor Xa in your body. This enzyme plays a critical role in blood clotting.

• Prevention of Thrombin Formation: By inhibiting Factor Xa, Rivaroxaban effectively prevents the formation of thrombin, a protein that promotes clotting.

• Interruption of Blood Coagulation Cascade: The action of Rivaroxaban on Factor Xa interrupts both intrinsic and extrinsic pathways of the blood coagulation cascade. This helps prevent blood clot development and reduces the risk of thromboembolic disorders.

• Keep the medicine in its original package to shield it from moisture.

• Never store it in damp places like the bathroom or kitchen.

• If you're taking Rivaflo 10 Tablet for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE), try to lead an active lifestyle. Regular physical activity can help prevent blood clots from forming.

• For those taking the medicine following hip or knee replacement surgery, ensure a diet rich in Vitamin K for optimal recovery. Foods like broccoli, spinach, and other leafy green vegetables are good sources.
