In patients having knee or hip replacement surgery, for the prevention of DVT, which can progress to PE.
Pharmacology
Rivaroxaban is a direct factor Xa inhibitor with high selectivity. Factor Xa inhibition reduces thrombin production by interrupting the intrinsic and extrinsic pathways of the blood coagulation cascade. Rivaroxaban has been shown to have no impact on platelets and does not block thrombin (activated factor II).

The recommended dose: is 2.5 mg twice daily. Patients should also take a daily dose of 75-100 mg Aspirin or a daily dose of 75-100 mg Aspirin in addition to either a daily dose of 75 mg clopidogrel or a standard daily dose of ticlopidine.

Interaction
Rivaroxaban exposure and pharmacodynamic effects (factor Xa inhibition and PT prolongation) are increased when used with medicines that are a combination P-gp and CYP3A4 inhibitors (ketoconazole, ritonavir, clarithromycin, erythromycin, fluconazole, diltiazem, verapamil, dronedarone). Rivaroxaban should not be used with a combination P-gp and strong CYP3A4 inducer (e.g., rifampicin, phenytoin, carbamazepine) since it reduces the effectiveness of Rivaroxaban. The use of antiplatelet medicines, heparin, fibrinolytic treatment, and NSAIDs at the same time may increase the risk of bleeding.
