• Factor Xa Inhibition: Rivaroxaban acts by inhibiting a key enzyme known as factor Xa, which plays a crucial role in blood clotting.

• Thrombin Generation Reduction: By inhibiting factor Xa, rivaroxaban effectively decreases the generation of thrombin, another essential enzyme in blood clot formation.

• Thrombus Development Inhibition: As a result of reduced thrombin generation, the development of thrombus or blood clots is hindered.
