Ricosprin 2.5 Tablet

Ricosprin 2.5 Tablet contains rivaroxaban 2.5 mg in each tablet. It is an oral anticoagulant, often called a blood thinner, used to help prevent harmful blood clots. Doctors may use Ricosprin 2.5 Tablet for certain patients at risk of heart attack, stroke, or other clot-related problems, usually as part of a specific treatment plan.

How it works: Rivaroxaban blocks Factor Xa, a clotting protein your body uses to make blood clots. By slowing this step, the Ricosprin 2.5 Tablet helps reduce the chance of dangerous clots forming in the blood vessels.

Ricosprin 2.5 Tablet is a lower-dose rivaroxaban tablet and is not the same as the higher strengths Ricosprin 10 Tablet, Ricosprin 15 Tablet, or Ricosprin 20 Tablet, which are used for different clot-prevention or clot-treatment needs. This 2.5 mg strength may be chosen when a doctor wants a smaller dose that is taken with other heart medicines, especially in patients who need long-term antithrombotic protection rather than full-dose anticoagulation.

• Prevention of heart attack in selected patients
• Reduction of stroke risk in certain cardiovascular patients
• Prevention of serious blood clot complications
• Part of doctor-directed antithrombotic therapy after vascular events

• Swallow Ricosprin 2.5 Tablet whole with water.
• Take it exactly at the time your doctor prescribes.
• Do not crush, split, or chew the tablet unless your prescriber tells you to.
• Take it with food if your doctor or label directions say so, especially if it is part of a combination regimen.
• If you miss a dose, follow your prescriber’s instructions and do not double up unless you have been told to.
• Keep taking it regularly even if you feel well, because blood clots can develop without symptoms.

Each Ricosprin 2.5 Tablet provides rivaroxaban 2.5 mg. The frequency can vary based on the condition being treated and the other medicines in your regimen; this strength is often used on a twice-daily schedule in cardiovascular prevention plans, but only your doctor should choose the exact dose and schedule. Do not take more than prescribed per day, because rivaroxaban can raise bleeding risk.

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