FAQ
Which Rivaroxaban strengths and pack sizes can I order?
Rivaroxaban comes as 10mg tablets in packs of 28 or 56. This is generic rivaroxaban, not a branded product. Each page shows the price per tablet in Hong Kong dollars, and the larger pack can lower the price per tablet. Choose the pack that suits your order.
What delivery options does Rivaroxaban offer to Hong Kong?
Tracked courier takes 5 to 9 business days and includes online tracking, while standard airmail takes 14 to 21 business days, or 30 at most, and is untracked. Every Rivaroxaban order ships in plain, unbranded packaging with nothing outside about the contents.
What is rivaroxaban 10mg used for?
The 10mg strength is used around hip or knee replacement surgery, to stop a clot forming in the weeks afterwards. Existing clots in a leg or lung, and stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation, are treated with the 15mg and 20mg strengths rather than this one.
Can I take ibuprofen or aspirin with rivaroxaban?
They increase the chance of bleeding, as do other anti-inflammatory painkillers such as naproxen and diclofenac, and medicines that affect clotting including clopidogrel, heparin and warfarin.
What should I do if I forget a dose of rivaroxaban?
Take the missed tablet as soon as you remember it on the same day. If the next one is only a few hours away, wait and take that one instead. Doubling the next dose does not make up for a missed tablet.
Does rivaroxaban need regular blood tests?
No clotting-time blood tests (INR) are needed the way they are with warfarin, because rivaroxaban is taken at a fixed dose. Blood tests are still used from time to time to check kidney and liver function, since both affect how the medicine is handled by the body.
About Rivaroxaban
What rivaroxaban 10mg tablets are for
Rivaroxaban is an anticoagulant — one of the medicines people call blood thinners. It blocks factor Xa, a protein that drives the last steps of clotting, so clots form less readily and an existing clot is less likely to grow.
It is used for deep vein thrombosis (a clot in a leg vein) and pulmonary embolism (a clot in the lung), to prevent clots after hip or knee replacement surgery, to lower the risk of heart attack, stroke or death in people with narrowed heart arteries or poor circulation in the legs, and to prevent stroke in atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat that lets clots form in the heart).
This listing is rivaroxaban 10mg tablets, in packs of 28 or 56.
How to take it
Each tablet goes down whole, with water and with a meal, once or twice a day at a fixed time; it is not made to be crushed, split or chewed. After a hip or knee operation the course lasts a few weeks. For a clot, or for stroke protection in atrial fibrillation, it runs far longer, and in atrial fibrillation the stroke risk climbs again once the tablets stop, so most people stay on them.
Bleeding is the side effect to know
Bleeding more easily than usual is the common one: nosebleeds, gums that bleed when you brush, cuts that take longer to stop, bruises that come up more readily, heavier periods. Tiredness and paleness from anaemia, itchy skin, aching arms and legs, swollen ankles, indigestion, nausea, constipation or diarrhoea, and dizziness on standing also get reported. Other medicines that affect clotting add to the bleeding risk — aspirin, ibuprofen and similar anti-inflammatories, clopidogrel, heparin and warfarin among them. Heavy or internal bleeding needs urgent treatment: blood in urine or stools, vomit containing blood, blood coughed up, or a sudden severe headache with confusion, slurred speech or weakness on one side.
Rivaroxaban and Xarelto
Xarelto is the branded tablet of the same ingredient and comes in 10mg, 15mg and 20mg. This listing is the generic 10mg tablet in packs of 28 or 56. More about the ingredient is on the rivaroxaban page, and Xarelto shows the other strengths.
