Xarelto (rivaroxaban) Tablets at Canadian Prices with US Shipping

What Xarelto Is and How It Works

Xarelto is the brand name for rivaroxaban, an oral anticoagulant in the factor Xa inhibitor class. It helps prevent and treat blood clots. Common uses include stroke prevention in nonvalvular atrial fibrillation, treatment and prevention of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, and clot prevention after hip or knee replacement. Low-dose regimens also help reduce cardiovascular events in chronic coronary artery disease and peripheral artery disease, together with aspirin.

Xarelto comes as film-coated tablets in strengths such as 2.5 mg, 10 mg, 15 mg, and 20 mg. Most regimens are once daily. Some short-term treatment phases use twice-daily dosing. The 15 mg and 20 mg tablets should be taken with food to improve absorption. The 10 mg tablet may be taken with or without food.

Dosage and Usage

Your prescriber will set the right dose for your condition and kidney or liver status. General guidance includes:

• Follow the exact directions on your prescription label.
• Take 15 mg and 20 mg tablets with food, at the same time each day.
• For atrial fibrillation, many adults take 20 mg once daily with the evening meal. Those with reduced kidney function may use 15 mg once daily if advised.
• For DVT/PE treatment, an initial 15 mg twice daily phase may be used before switching to once daily dosing.
• For DVT/PE prevention after knee or hip replacement, 10 mg once daily is common.
• For CAD/PAD, 2.5 mg twice daily is used with low-dose aspirin when prescribed.
• Swallow tablets with water. If needed, your clinician may advise a safe way to administer crushed tablets.

Missed dose advice:

• If you take Xarelto once daily, take the missed dose as soon as you remember on the same day, then take your next dose at the usual time the next day. Do not take two doses at once.
• If you are on 15 mg twice daily, you may be told to take the missed dose to ensure 30 mg total that day. Confirm your plan with your prescriber.

Before any surgery, dental work, or spinal procedure, your clinician may tell you to stop Xarelto in advance to lower bleeding risk. Restart only when cleared by your clinician.

Storage and travel:

• Store at 20-25 C (68-77 F). Short excursions 15-30 C (59-86 F) are allowed.
• Keep tablets dry and in the original container. Protect from moisture.
• When you travel, pack enough tablets in your carry-on with the pharmacy label.
• Set reminders so you take your dose on time across time zones.

Benefits and Savings

Xarelto helps prevent dangerous clots and lowers the risk of stroke in nonvalvular atrial fibrillation. It treats DVT and PE and reduces recurrence risk with continued therapy. Dosing is fixed and does not require routine INR monitoring. Food restrictions are limited compared with warfarin, and there are fewer dietary interactions.

You can order brand Xarelto or rivaroxaban generic options, when available, at Canadian prices. Many patients save 60-80% versus typical US prices. YouDrugstore offers brand and generic medicines and OTC health products online, with orders reviewed by licensed pharmacists through our partner network before dispensing.

Side Effects and Safety

Bleeding is the main risk with any anticoagulant. Review your personal risks with your prescriber. Seek urgent care for signs of serious bleeding.

• Common: easy bruising, nosebleeds, gum bleeding, heavier menstrual bleeding, small cuts bleeding longer, dizziness, headache, nausea, upset stomach.
• Less common but serious: prolonged or heavy bleeding, coughing or vomiting blood, black or tarry stools, blood in urine, severe weakness or fainting, sudden severe headache, vision or speech changes, allergic reactions (rash, swelling, trouble breathing).
• Spinal/epidural hematoma risk: alert your clinician if you receive spinal anesthesia or have a spinal puncture or an epidural catheter.

Tell your clinician about all medicines and supplements. Some drugs affect rivaroxaban levels or increase bleeding. Examples include strong CYP3A4/P-gp inhibitors (such as ketoconazole, ritonavir, clarithromycin) and strong inducers (such as rifampin, carbamazepine, phenytoin, St. John’s wort). Combining with other anticoagulants or antiplatelets, NSAIDs, or SSRIs/SNRIs may raise bleeding risk.

Do not use with active pathological bleeding. Avoid use in severe liver disease with coagulopathy or in pregnancy unless specifically advised. Dose adjustments or alternatives may be needed in kidney disease. People with mechanical heart valves or moderate to severe mitral stenosis usually need a different anticoagulant.

Onset Time

Rivaroxaban absorbs quickly. Peak effect usually occurs 2-4 hours after a dose. Protection continues with regular daily dosing. If you stop suddenly, your clot risk may rise. Do not stop without medical guidance.

Compare With Alternatives

Other direct oral anticoagulants include apixaban and dabigatran. Apixaban is another factor Xa inhibitor with twice-daily dosing for most indications. It has strong data for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation and for DVT/PE treatment. Some patients prefer its bleeding profile or dosing schedule based on their clinical needs.

Pradaxa (dabigatran) is a direct thrombin inhibitor. It is taken twice daily and uses an acid-stable capsule. It may cause more dyspepsia for some users and has different renal dosing rules. Warfarin is a traditional option but needs INR monitoring and has many food and drug interactions.

Your prescriber will match the anticoagulant to your condition, kidney and liver function, age, bleeding risk, and preference. If you are comparing Xarelto vs apixaban, you may also find the article Xarelto Vs Eliquis Which Anticoagulant Suits You Best helpful.

Combination Therapy

Do not combine Xarelto with another anticoagulant unless your clinician tells you to do so. In CAD and PAD, a low dose of rivaroxaban (2.5 mg twice daily) can be used with low-dose aspirin to reduce cardiovascular events. This increases bleeding risk, so it must be individualized. Using Xarelto together with clopidogrel or other antiplatelets may be short-term in select cases after stenting. Always follow the plan set by your cardiology or vascular team.

Patient Suitability and Cost-Saving Tips

People who may benefit include those with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation needing stroke prevention, and those with DVT or PE treatment or prevention needs. Others include people after hip or knee surgery who need short-term clot prevention, and those with stable CAD or PAD who are candidates for the rivaroxaban plus aspirin regimen. People with mechanical valves, severe liver disease, very poor kidney function, or active bleeding usually need different strategies.
