How To Take XARELTO® | XARELTO® (rivaroxaban) Welcome Kit

Pills Icon Take XARELTO® 1 or 2 times a day as prescribed by your doctor. For the 10-mg dose, take with or without food. For the 15-mg and 20-mg doses, take with food at the same time each day.

What to do if you miss a dose:

  • If you take XARELTO® twice a day and miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember on the same day. You may take 2 doses at the same time to make up for the missed dose. Take your next dose at your regularly scheduled time.
  • If you take XARELTO® once a day and miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember on the same day. Take your next dose at your regularly scheduled time.

 

Important things to keep in mind:

  • Do not change your dose or stop taking XARELTO® unless your healthcare professional tells you to. Stopping XARELTO® increases your risk of having another DVT or PE blood clot.
  • Take XARELTO® exactly as prescribed by your healthcare professional. Your healthcare professional will decide how long you should take it and prescribe either XARELTO® 10 mg once a day, or XARELTO® 15 mg or 20 mg once or twice a day.
  • Tell all the healthcare professionals you see, including your dentist, that you’re taking XARELTO®. They should talk to the healthcare professional who prescribed XARELTO® before any surgical, medical, or dental procedure. You may need to stop taking it for a short time before and after the procedure.
  • Tell your healthcare professional about all the medicines you take, including prescription and nonprescription medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements.
