Rivaroxaban 10 mg (Rivaroxaban)

Adult dose

This medicine 10 mg may be taken with or without food, while 15 mg and 20 mg should be taken with food. 1. Adults 1) Reduction in the risk of stroke and systemic embolism in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation The recommended dose of this medicine is 20 mg once daily. The recommended dose for patients with moderate renal impairment (creatinine clearance 30-49 mL/min) is 15 mg once daily. The maximum daily dose of this medicine is 20 mg. There is limited experience with concomitant administration of rivaroxaban 15mg once daily [10mg once daily for patients with moderate renal impairment (creatinine clearance 30-49 mL/min)] and a P2Y12 inhibitor for up to 12 months in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation who have undergone percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stent placement. (See '12. Clinical Trial Information') 2) Treatment of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism / reduction in the risk of recurrence of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism The recommended initial dose of this medicine for the treatment of acute deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism is 15 mg twice daily for the first 3 weeks. Thereafter, the recommended maintenance dose for the treatment of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism and the recommended dose for reducing the risk of recurrence are 20 mg once daily. After completion of treatment (at least 6 months) for deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism, the recommended dose for extended treatment to reduce the risk of recurrence is 10mg once daily. The duration of treatment and dose should be determined after an individual assessment of the risk of recurrence of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism in relation to the risk of bleeding. Treatment period / Dosing frequency / Total daily dose Treatment of deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism and reduction in the risk of recurrence Days 1-21 / 15mg twice daily / 30mg From day 22 / 20mg once daily / 20mg Reduction in the risk of recurrence of deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism After at least 6 months of treatment / 10mg once daily / 10mg The maximum daily dose of this medicine is 30 mg during the first 3 weeks of treatment and 20 mg during the remainder of the treatment period. 3) Prevention of venous thromboembolism in adult patients who have undergone major orthopedic surgery of the lower limbs (knee or hip replacement) The recommended dose of this medicine is 10 mg once daily. The initial dose should be started 6~10 hours after surgery, once hemostasis has been established. The duration of treatment depends on the individual patient's risk of venous thromboembolism according to the type of surgery; however, a treatment duration of 5 weeks is recommended for patients undergoing hip replacement and 2 weeks for patients undergoing knee replacement. 4) If you forget to take this medicine If you forget to take this medicine, take the missed dose as follows. ① Patients taking 15 mg twice daily: Take this medicine immediately; in this case, two 15 mg tablets may be taken at once. Starting the next day, continue taking 15 mg twice daily. ② Patients taking 10, 15, 20 mg once daily: Take the missed dose immediately. Starting the next day, continue taking 1 tablet once daily. The daily dose should not be doubled to make up for a missed dose. 2. Switching medications 1) Switching from a vitamin K antagonist to this medicine ① Reduction in the risk of stroke and systemic embolism in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation Discontinue vitamin K antagonist therapy and start taking this medicine when the International Normalized Ratio (INR) is ≤ 3.0. ② Treatment of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism / reduction in the risk of recurrence of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism Discontinue vitamin K antagonist therapy and start taking this medicine when the INR is ≤ 2.5. Regardless of the dose, the INR value will be falsely elevated after taking this medicine. The INR is not suitable for measuring the anticoagulant activity of this medicine and should not be used. 2) Switching from this medicine to a vitamin K antagonist Inadequate anticoagulation may occur while switching from this medicine to a vitamin K antagonist. Adequate anticoagulation should be maintained continuously while switching to another anticoagulant. Note that this medicine may affect INR elevation. Patients switching from this medicine to a vitamin K antagonist should receive the vitamin K antagonist concomitantly until the INR is ≥2.0. During the first 2 days after switching, administer the standard dose of the vitamin K antagonist, and thereafter administer the dose determined according to INR testing. However, in patients receiving this medicine together with a vitamin K antagonist, INR testing should not be performed until 24 hours after taking this medicine. Once this medicine is discontinued, INR testing may be performed 24 hours after the last dose. 3) Switching from a parenteral anticoagulant to this medicine In patients receiving a parenteral anticoagulant, start this medicine 0~2 hours before the next scheduled dose of the parenteral agent (e.g., low molecular weight heparin), or at the time the continuously administered parenteral agent (e.g., intravenous unfractionated heparin) is discontinued. 4) Switching from this medicine to a parenteral anticoagulant Discontinue this medicine and start the parenteral anticoagulant at the time the next dose of this medicine would have been due. 3. Patients with renal impairment No dose adjustment is necessary in patients with mild renal impairment (creatinine clearance 50-80 mL/min). Limited clinical experience in patients with severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance 15-29 mL/min) indicates that blood concentrations of this medicine were significantly increased; therefore, administer this medicine with caution. Use of this medicine is not recommended in patients with severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance less than 15 mL/min), as there is no clinical experience in this population. 1) Reduction in the risk of stroke and systemic embolism in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation The recommended dose for patients with moderate renal impairment (creatinine clearance 30-49 mL/min) and severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance 15-29 mL/min) is 15 mg once daily. 2) Treatment of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism / reduction in the risk of recurrence of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism / prevention of venous thromboembolism in adult patients who have undergone major orthopedic surgery of the lower limbs (knee or hip replacement) No dose adjustment is necessary in patients with moderate renal impairment (creatinine clearance 30-49 mL/min). 4. Patients with hepatic impairment Avoid administering this medicine to patients with liver disease associated with coagulopathy and to patients with moderate (Child Pugh B) or severe (Child Pugh C) hepatic impairment. Increased exposure to this medicine and an increased risk of bleeding may occur in these patients. 5. Patients who are unable to swallow tablets, Immediately before use, this medicine may be crushed and mixed with water or a beverage such as applesauce and administered orally. This medicine may also be crushed and administered with a small amount of water through a gastrointestinal tube. Before administering this medicine through a gastrointestinal tube, confirm that the tube is properly positioned, and flush the tube with water after administration.

This medication is an anticoagulant used to prevent or treat thrombus formation by inhibiting coagulation. During treatment, bleeding may occur, so careful observation for signs or symptoms of bleeding is essential. If significant bleeding occurs, discontinue use immediately and consult a healthcare professional. This medication should not be administered to patients with certain conditions or diseases, such as those with severe bleeding, severely impaired liver function, pregnant or nursing women, or patients with certain genetic conditions. Patients with a history of gastrointestinal bleeding, recent intracranial hemorrhage or brain surgery, vascular abnormalities, and malignant tumors that pose a high risk of bleeding should also be used cautiously. When combined with other anticoagulants or certain antifungal agents and antiplatelet medications, the risk of bleeding may increase, so it is vital to inform healthcare professionals about all medications being taken. Patients with impaired kidney function or high-risk bleeding disorders should use this medication cautiously, as blood concentration levels may rise. This medication may cause various side effects, including bleeding, anemia, skin rash, liver dysfunction, etc., so if any unusual symptoms occur, immediate consultation with a healthcare professional is necessary. In particular, elderly patients may have an increased risk of bleeding, so extra caution is advised during use. Women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant should use effective contraception while taking this medication, and nursing women should avoid its use. Prior to surgery or invasive procedures, this medication should be discontinued for a certain period, and discontinuation may increase the risk of thrombosis, so follow healthcare professionals' instructions. In the case of overdose, the risk of bleeding increases, so adherence to the prescribed dosage is crucial, and any adverse reactions should be reported immediately. Caution is also advised while driving or operating machinery, as symptoms such as drowsiness or fainting may occur. This medication may interact with multiple drugs, so always consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new medications.
