Ricosprin 15 Tablet

Ricosprin 15 Tablet is a prescription tablet containing rivaroxaban 15 mg in each tablet. It belongs to the direct oral anticoagulant (blood thinner) class and is used to help prevent and treat harmful blood clots. Ricosprin 15 Tablet may be prescribed for conditions such as deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation, or after certain orthopedic procedures, depending on the doctor’s plan.

How it works: Rivaroxaban in Ricosprin 15 Tablet blocks factor Xa, a clotting protein your body uses to make blood clots. By slowing this step, the tablet helps reduce the chance of clots forming or getting bigger.

Ricosprin 15 Tablet is a mid-to-higher strength tablet, so it is not the same as the lower-dose Ricosprin 2.5 Tablet or Ricosprin 10 Tablet. Doctors may choose Ricosprin 15 Tablet when a stronger anticoagulant effect is needed than the lower strengths can provide, while still tailoring the dose to the person’s clotting risk and kidney function. It is different from Ricosprin 20 Tablet, which is a higher-strength option that may be used in other treatment phases or schedules.

• Prevention of stroke in atrial fibrillation
• Treatment of deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
• Treatment of pulmonary embolism (PE)
• Prevention of DVT after certain surgeries
• Reduction of risk of recurrent blood clots

• Take Ricosprin 15 Tablet by mouth with water unless your doctor gives different instructions.
• Follow the exact schedule prescribed, because rivaroxaban timing can differ by condition and treatment phase.
• Do not crush, chew, or split the tablet unless your prescriber specifically tells you to.
• Take it with food if your doctor instructs you to, since some rivaroxaban strengths are meant to be taken with a meal for better absorption.
• If you miss a dose, follow the instructions from your prescriber or pharmacist right away; do not double up unless instructed.
• Keep taking Ricosprin 15 Tablet exactly as directed, even if you feel well, because the medicine prevents clots rather than treating pain or symptoms.

Each Ricosprin 15 Tablet contains rivaroxaban 15 mg. The exact dosing schedule depends on the condition being treated and your doctor’s plan; for some uses it may be taken once daily, while in other situations it may be used as part of a twice-daily treatment phase. Do not take more than the prescribed total daily dose, and your doctor should decide whether 15 mg is the right strength for you.

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