Frequently asked questions

While Rivaroxaban has many benefits, it can increase bleeding risk, even from minor injuries, due to its blood-thinning effects. Serious bleeding may occur and require urgent medical attention, especially when combined with other blood thinners. Contact your doctor if you experience any bleeding.
No, Rivaroxaban is not known to cause weight gain. If you experience sudden weight gain and suspect it may be related to the medication, contact your doctor immediately.
Yes, Rivaroxaban is classified as a blood thinner. It prevents blood from clotting within vessels and helps avoid the recurrence of blood clots, particularly in the veins of the legs and the blood vessels of the lungs.
Common side effects of Rivaroxaban include prolonged bleeding, breathlessness (possible sign of bleeding), extreme weakness, fatigue, paleness, dizziness, headache, and unexplained swelling. Severe reactions may include skin allergies, bruising, coughing up blood, and limb swelling and pain. Rivaroxaban may also elevate bilirubin levels and reduce platelet counts. Some individuals may experience fainting, rapid heartbeat, and dry mouth. If you notice any side effects, contact your doctor promptly.
While on Rivaroxaban, avoid grapefruit and grapefruit juice, as they can inhibit Rivaroxaban metabolism and increase bleeding risk. Unlike other blood thinners like warfarin, which require avoiding vitamin K-rich foods (e.g., spinach, brussels sprouts, mustard greens, broccoli, asparagus, and green tea), these foods are not restricted with Rivaroxaban.
