Rpigat 20 Tablet 10 contains rivaroxaban (20 mg) and works as follows:

• Inhibits Factor Xa: Rivaroxaban blocks Factor Xa, which is the active form of clotting Factor X in your body. This factor plays a crucial role in blood clot formation.

• Decreases thrombin generation: By blocking the activity of Factor Xa, rivaroxaban effectively reduces the generation of thrombin, a substance that contributes to blood clot formation.

• Reduces thrombus formation: As a direct result of decreased thrombin generation, the medicine contributes to a reduction in thrombus, or blood clot, formation.

This action prevents harmful blood clots from forming in your blood vessels.

• Store Rpigat 20 Tablet 10 at a cool room temperature below 30°C.

• Keep the medicine from moisture, so avoid areas like the bathroom or kitchen sink.

• Ensure the tablet is kept in its original container until it's time to take it.

• Always keep this medicine out of reach of children.

• Remember to check the expiry date and use the medicine before it reaches this date.

• If you're taking Rpigat 20 Tablet 10 for conditions like deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism, try to maintain a healthy weight. Excess weight can put more pressure on your veins, potentially leading to blood clots.

• Regular exercise is also important as it helps keep your blood flowing smoothly, which lessens your risk of developing clots. Aim for low-intensity activities like walking or swimming, but always consult your doctor before starting any new exercise regime.
