About Rivaxab-10 Tablet
Rivaxab-10 Tablet is mainly used to prevent and treat blood clots in the legs (called deep vein thrombosis or DVT) and in the lungs (called pulmonary embolism or PE). Deep vein thrombosis is a medical condition in which blood clots form in deep veins, usually in the legs. Pulmonary embolism is a condition in which a blood clot blocks the arteries in the lungs.
Rivaxab-10 Tablet contains Rivaroxaban, a blood thinner that works by inhibiting the production of clotting factors by decreasing the action of vitamin K. This prevents the conversion of fibrinogen (soluble protein) to fibrin (insoluble protein), thereby preventing blood clots.

Most of these side effects of Rivaxab-10 Tablet do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects continuously.
