Rivaflo 2.5 Tablet is taken orally.

Rivaflo 2.5 Tablet contains rivaroxaban (2.5 mg). The mechanism of action of Rivaroxaban includes:

• Factor Xa Inhibition: Rivaroxaban acts by selectively blocking the activity of an enzyme known as factor Xa in your blood. This enzyme plays a crucial role in the process of blood clotting.

• Decrease in Thrombin Generation: By inhibiting factor Xa, rivaroxaban effectively reduces the production of another substance called thrombin, which is responsible for clot formation.

• Prevention of Blood Clots: As a result of its action on factor Xa and thrombin, rivaroxaban helps prevent the formation and development of blood clots that could potentially lead to serious health complications such as stroke or pulmonary embolism.

• Store your Rivaflo 2.5 Tablets at room temperature, ideally below 30°C.

• Keep the medication in its original packaging to prevent exposure to moisture.

• Ensure the storage area is out of reach for children and pets.

• Always check the expiry date on the pack, and make sure you use it before this date.

• If you suffer from heart conditions managed by Rivaflo 2.5 Tablet, try to maintain a low-salt, low-fat diet. This helps control blood pressure and cholesterol levels, supporting heart health.

• Regular gentle exercise like walking or swimming can help improve circulation, reducing the risk of blood clots. However, avoid activities that may increase the risk of injury or bleeding while on this medicine.
