Ricosprin 10 Tablet 15 contains rivaroxaban (10 mg). It impacts your body in the following ways:

• Selective Factor Xa Inhibition: This medicine works by selectively blocking an enzyme in your body known as factor Xa, which plays a critical role in blood clot formation.

• Decreased Thrombin Generation: By inhibiting factor Xa, rivaroxaban reduces the generation of thrombin, a protein that causes blood to clot.

• Direct Factor Xa Inhibition: Unlike some other anticoagulants, rivaroxaban directly inhibits factor Xa, without needing any additional substances like antithrombin III. This direct action makes it efficient in preventing clot formation.

• Store Ricosprin 10 Tablet 15 at room temperature, ideally below 30°C.

• Keep the tablet in its original packaging to protect it from moisture.

• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight or heat sources.

• Always keep this medicine out of reach of children.

• Ensure you use the tablet before its expiry date.

• Make sure to stay well-hydrated. This is important as dehydration can increase the risk of blood clotting, which Ricosprin 10 Tablet 15 helps manage.

• Regular low-intensity exercise such as walking or swimming can help improve circulation and reduce the risk of blood clots. Please consult your doctor before starting any new exercise regimen.
