Asked by Male, 45 · 2 months ago
Xarelto 10 mg Tablet (Rivaroxaban) is taken after an IVC (inferior vena cava) filter is placed to prevent blood clots and lower the risk of pulmonary embolism (a blockage in the lung artery caused by clots). It helps keep blood flowing safely while the filter remains in place.

Purpose of Xarelto After IVC Filter Placement:
- IVC Filter Role: An IVC filter is placed to prevent blood clots from traveling to the lungs.
- Xarelto's Role: Xarelto is an anticoagulant that helps prevent new clots from forming and existing ones from growing.
Importance of Continued Anticoagulation:
- Even with an IVC filter, anticoagulation therapy like Xarelto is crucial to reduce the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE).
Usage and Monitoring:
- Follow your doctor's prescription for Xarelto. Regular monitoring may be necessary to ensure effectiveness and safety.
