Xarelto contains the active substance rivaroxaban and is used in adults to:
- prevent blood clots in brain (stroke) and other blood vessels in your body if you have a form of irregular heart rhythm called non-valvular atrial fibrillation.
- treat blood clots in the veins of your legs (deep vein thrombosis) and in the blood vessels of your lungs (pulmonary embolism), and to prevent blood clots from re-occurring in the blood vessels of your legs and/or lungs.
Xarelto is used in children and adolescents below 18 years and with a body weight of 30 kg or more to:
- treat blood clots and prevent re-occurrence of blood clots in the veins or in the blood vessels of the lungs, following initial treatment of at least 5 days with injectable medicines used to treat blood clots.
Xarelto 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.

How to Use
How to use Xarelto
Always take this medicine exactly as your doctor has told you. Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure.
You must take Xarelto together with a meal.
Swallow the tablet(s) preferably with water.
If you have difficulty swallowing the tablet whole, talk to your doctor about other ways to take Xarelto. The tablet may be crushed and mixed with water or apple puree immediately before you take it. This mixture should be immediately followed by food.
If necessary, your doctor may also give you the crushed Xarelto tablet through a stomach tube.
- Adults
- To prevent blood clots in brain (stroke) and other blood vessels in your body
The recommended dose is one tablet Xarelto 20 mg once a day.
If you have kidney problems, the dose may be reduced to one tablet Xarelto 15 mg once a day.
If you need a procedure to treat blocked blood vessels in your heart (called a percutaneous coronary intervention – PCI with an insertion of a stent), there is limited evidence to reduce the dose to one tablet Xarelto 15 mg once a day (or to one tablet Xarelto 10 mg once a day in case your kidneys are not working properly) in addition to an antiplatelet medicine such as clopidogrel.
- To treat blood clots in the veins of your legs and blood clots in the blood vessels of your lungs, and for preventing blood clots from re-occurring
The recommended dose is one tablet Xarelto 15 mg twice a day for the first 3 weeks. For treatment after 3 weeks, the recommended dose is one tablet Xarelto 20 mg once a day.
After at least 6 months blood clot treatment your doctor may decide to continue treatment with either one 10 mg tablet once a day or one 20 mg tablet once a day.
If you have kidney problems and take one tablet Xarelto 20 mg once a day, your doctor may decide to reduce the dose for the treatment after 3 weeks to one tablet Xarelto 15 mg once a day if the risk for bleeding is greater than the risk for having another blood clot.
- Children and adolescents
The dose of Xarelto depends on the body weight, and will be calculated by the doctor.
- The recommended dose for children and adolescents with a body weight between 30 kg and less than 50 kg is one Xarelto 15 mg tablet once a day.
- The recommended dose for children and adolescents with a body weight of 50 kg or more is one Xarelto 20 mg tablet once a day.
Take each Xarelto dose with a drink (e.g. water or juice) during a meal. Take the tablets every day at approximately the same time. Consider setting an alarm to remind you.
For parents or caregivers: please observe the child to ensure the full dose is taken.
As the Xarelto dose is based on body weight it is important to keep scheduled doctor’s visits because the dose may need to be adjusted as the weight changes.
Never adjust the dose of Xarelto by yourself. The doctor will adjust the dose if necessary.
Do not split the tablet in an attempt to provide a fraction of a tablet dose. If a lower dose is required please use the alternative presentation of Xarelto granules for oral suspension.
For children and adolescents who are unable to swallow tablets whole, please use Xarelto granules for oral suspension.
If the oral suspension is not available, you may crush the Xarelto tablet and mix with water or apple puree immediately before taking. Take some food after taking this mixture. If necessary, your doctor may also give the crushed Xarelto tablet through a stomach tube.
If you spit up the dose or vomit
- less than 30 minutes after you have taken Xarelto, take a new dose.
- more than 30 minutes after you have taken Xarelto, do not take a new dose. In this case, take the next Xarelto dose at the usual time.
Contact the doctor if you repeatedly spit up the dose or vomit after taking Xarelto.
Take the tablet(s) every day until your doctor tells you to stop.
Try to take the tablet(s) at the same time every day to help you to remember it.
Your doctor will decide how long you must continue treatment.
To prevent blood clots in the brain (stroke) and other blood vessels in your body:
If your heart beat needs to be restored to normal by a procedure called cardioversion, take Xarelto at the times your doctor tells you.
- Adults, children and adolescents:
If you are taking one 20 mg tablet or one 15 mg tablet once a day and have missed a dose, take it as soon as you remember. Do not take more than one tablet in a single day to make up for a forgotten dose. Take the next tablet on the following day and then carry on taking one tablet once a day.
- Adults:
If you are taking one 15 mg tablet twice a day and have missed a dose, take it as soon as you remember. Do not take more than two 15 mg tablets in a single day.

On the following day you should carry on taking one 15 mg tablet twice a day.
Contact your doctor immediately if you have taken too many Xarelto tablets. Taking too much Xarelto increases the risk of bleeding.
