What does it do?

Rivaroxaban is an oral anticoagulant that selectively inhibits certain clotting factors in the blood to prevent thrombus formation. It is primarily used for the prevention and treatment of thrombosis.

Rivaroxaban directly blocks activated factor Xa, which plays a crucial role in the blood coagulation process. This helps prevent excessive blood clotting and reduces thrombus formation.
