Cameriv 20 mg Tablet

Cameriv 20 mg Tablet is a prescription anticoagulant that contains 20 mg of rivaroxaban in each tablet. It belongs to the direct Factor Xa inhibitor class, which helps reduce the formation of harmful blood clots. Cameriv 20 mg Tablet is used to treat and prevent certain clot-related conditions, including deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and stroke risk in some patients with atrial fibrillation. Because it is a higher-strength tablet, it is intended for patients whose prescriber has specifically chosen this 20 mg dose.

How it works: Rivaroxaban in Cameriv 20 mg Tablet blocks Factor Xa, a key protein the body uses to make blood clots. By slowing clot formation, this tablet helps lower the risk of new clots forming or existing clots getting worse.

Cameriv 20 mg Tablet is a higher-strength rivaroxaban tablet, so it is not the typical starting dose for every patient. A doctor may choose this strength when a full 20 mg maintenance dose is appropriate for clot treatment or prevention, and it is usually used after the initial lower-dose phase in some treatment plans. It may feel no different when you swallow it, but the higher amount of rivaroxaban in each tablet means dosing must be individualized.

• Treatment of deep vein thrombosis
• Treatment of pulmonary embolism
• Reduction of stroke risk in nonvalvular atrial fibrillation
• Prevention of recurrent blood clots

• Swallow the Cameriv 20 mg Tablet whole with water; do not crush, split, or chew it unless your prescriber specifically tells you to.
• Take it exactly as prescribed and at the same time each day if you are on a once-daily schedule.
• This tablet is usually taken with food to improve absorption, especially for the 15 mg and 20 mg rivaroxaban-strength schedules.
• If you miss a dose, follow your prescriber’s instructions or the official label directions for your condition; do not double up without advice.
• Because this is a tablet, there is no flavoring or jelly formulation—just the oral tablet in the strip/box pack of 10 tablets.

Each Cameriv 20 mg Tablet provides 20 mg of rivaroxaban per tablet. Depending on the condition being treated, this strength may be taken once daily, but the exact schedule is set by the doctor and should not be changed on your own. Do not take more than the prescribed daily amount, because too much can raise the risk of serious bleeding.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
