Hello, Anon!

Thank you for your question today.

Rivaroxaban (Xarelto) is used to prevent blood clots from forming due to a certain irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation) or after hip or knee replacement surgery. It is also used to treat blood clots (such as in deep vein thrombosis-DVT or pulmonary embolus-PE) and to prevent the blood clots from forming again.

If your doctor has prescribed this medication for you, take it exactly as directed.
