Rovor 20 Tablet

Rovor 20 Tablet contains rivaroxaban 20 mg in each tablet. It is an oral anticoagulant, also called a blood thinner, used to help prevent and treat blood clots. Rovor 20 Tablet may be prescribed for conditions such as deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation, and to reduce the risk of clots in selected patients. Because it lowers the blood’s ability to clot, it can reduce the chance of serious clot-related complications when used as directed.

How it works: Rivaroxaban blocks factor Xa, a protein your body needs to form blood clots. In tablet form, Rovor 20 Tablet is swallowed and absorbed into the body to help prevent new clots from forming and existing clots from getting worse.

Rovor 20 Tablet is the 20 mg strength, which is a higher-strength rivaroxaban tablet and not the same as lower-dose tablets that may be used for starting treatment, dose adjustment, or different indications. This strength is typically chosen by a doctor when a full treatment or maintenance dose is needed and when the patient’s kidney function, bleeding risk, and diagnosis have been reviewed. The exact use and timing of Rovor 20 Tablet depend on the condition being treated and the prescribing plan.

• Treatment of deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
• Treatment of pulmonary embolism (PE)
• Prevention of stroke and systemic embolism in nonvalvular atrial fibrillation
• Prevention of recurrent DVT or PE
• Reduction of clot risk in selected patients after initial treatment

• Swallow Rovor 20 Tablet whole with water; do not crush, split, or chew it unless your doctor specifically instructs otherwise.
• Take it exactly at the time your doctor tells you. Some rivaroxaban doses are taken with food, and the 20 mg tablet is commonly taken with food to improve absorption.
• Use the tablet from the strip/box only as prescribed and keep track of each dose so you do not miss one.
• If you miss a dose, follow your prescriber’s directions for missed doses rather than doubling up on your own.
• Do not stop taking Rovor 20 Tablet suddenly without medical advice, because stopping can raise the risk of a clot.

Each Rovor 20 Tablet provides rivaroxaban 20 mg. This is usually a once-daily dose for many approved uses, but the exact schedule and maximum daily dose depend on the reason it was prescribed and the stage of treatment. Your doctor decides whether 20 mg is the right dose for you and may adjust therapy based on kidney function, bleeding risk, and other medicines.

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