WHAT RIVAROXABAN DENK IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Rivaroxaban Denk contains the active substance rivaroxaban and is used
in adults to
-
prevent blood clots in the veins after a hip or knee replacement
operation. Your doctor
has prescribed this medicine for you because after an operation you
are at an increased
risk of getting blood clots.
-
treat blood clots in the veins of your legs (deep vein thrombosis) and
in the blood ves-
sels of your lungs (pulmonary embolism), and to prevent blood clots
from re-occurring
in the blood vessels of your legs and/or lungs.
Rivaroxaban Denk belongs to a group of medicines called antithrombotic
agents. It works by
blocking a blood clotting factor (factor Xa) and thus reducing the
tendency of the blood to form
clots.
