Xarelto uses
Xarelto is utilized for a wide range of health conditions related to blood clots and cardiovascular events. These include the reduction of stroke and systemic embolism risk, treatment of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), prevention of major cardiovascular events in chronic coronary artery disease (CAD) or peripheral artery disease (PAD), and prophylaxis of venous thromboembolism in medical patients at risk for thromboembolic complications not at high risk of bleeding. The drug's active ingredient, rivaroxaban, contributes to its effectiveness by blocking the clotting (blood-thinning) factor Xa, which prevents thrombin formation. This process helps to reduce the formation of blood clots.
