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.
