Ricosprin 20 Tablet

Ricosprin 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 harmful blood clots. Ricosprin 20 Tablet is prescribed for conditions such as deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, stroke prevention in certain patients with atrial fibrillation, and prevention of recurrent clots after initial treatment.

How it works: Rivaroxaban blocks factor Xa, a key protein your body uses to make blood clots. By reducing clot formation, Ricosprin 20 Tablet helps lower the chance of dangerous clots moving to the lungs or brain. Because this is a standard swallowable tablet, the medicine is taken by mouth and starts working after it is absorbed from the stomach and intestines.

Ricosprin 20 Tablet is a higher-strength version compared with Ricosprin 2.5 Tablet, Ricosprin 10 Tablet, and Ricosprin 15 Tablet. Doctors may choose Ricosprin 20 Tablet when a patient needs a full treatment-strength dose or a later phase of clot prevention, after they have been assessed for bleeding risk and kidney function. It is not meant for self-starting or for people who only need a lower dose.

• Treatment of deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
• Treatment of pulmonary embolism (PE)
• Prevention of stroke in nonvalvular atrial fibrillation
• Prevention of recurrent DVT or PE
• Blood clot prevention after certain medical treatment plans

• Swallow Ricosprin 20 Tablet whole with water; do not crush, split, or chew unless your prescriber specifically tells you to do so.
• Take it exactly at the time your doctor prescribes, because the schedule matters for clot prevention.
• If you are taking it for atrial fibrillation or many clot-prevention regimens, it is commonly taken once daily; take it with food if your prescriber or label instructions require it for this strength.
• If you miss a dose, follow your doctor’s instructions or the package directions for the timing of the missed tablet.
• Do not stop Ricosprin 20 Tablet suddenly without medical advice, because stopping can raise clot risk.

Each Ricosprin 20 Tablet provides rivaroxaban 20 mg per tablet. This strength is often used once daily, but the exact schedule and duration depend on the reason it was prescribed and your kidney function, bleeding risk, and other medicines. Your doctor decides the right dose; do not take more than prescribed, and the maximum daily amount should follow your prescriber’s directions for your condition.

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

Common side effects of Rivaroxaban may include:

• easy bruising
• nosebleeds
• bleeding gums
• heavy menstrual bleeding
• nausea
• diarrhea
• dizziness

• Ricosprin 20 Tablet can cause serious bleeding, so it is not suitable for people with active bleeding or certain bleeding disorders unless a doctor says otherwise.
• Tell your doctor before surgery, dental work, or procedures, because this tablet may need to be paused beforehand.
• Use extra caution if you have kidney or liver disease, since those conditions can affect how rivaroxaban is handled.
• Avoid or limit alcohol, because it can increase bleeding risk and stomach irritation.
• Do not take additional aspirin, NSAIDs, or other blood thinners unless your prescriber approves.
• If you have a history of falls, ulcers, or head injury, let your clinician know before starting Ricosprin 20 Tablet.
• This is a stronger tablet than 2.5 mg or 10 mg forms, so dosing errors can increase bleeding risk.

• Other anticoagulants such as warfarin, heparin, apixaban, dabigatran, or enoxaparin
• NSAIDs such as ibuprofen or naproxen
• Aspirin and many antiplatelet medicines
• Strong CYP3A4 and P-gp inhibitors or inducers, such as ketoconazole, ritonavir, rifampin, or carbamazepine
