Rovor 15 Tablet 10 contains Rivaroxaban (15 mg). Here's how it works:

• Inhibition of Factor Xa: Rivaroxaban selectively blocks the active site of factor Xa, an enzyme that plays a key role in forming blood clots.

• Reduction of Thrombin Formation: By inhibiting the activity of factor Xa, Rovor 15 Tablet 10 effectively decreases the creation of thrombin, a substance involved in clotting.

• Prolongation of Clotting Time: Rivaroxaban's action on factor Xa extends the time it takes for blood to clot, thus reducing the risk of clot development.

• Independent Activity: Rivaroxaban does not require the presence of a cofactor, such as Anti-thrombin III, to exert its effect. This makes it a direct inhibitor of factor Xa.

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

• Keep the tablet away from direct light and moisture.

• Always keep it in its original packaging until you need to take it.

• Always keep this medicine out of the reach of children.

• Be sure to use the tablet before its expiry date.

• If you're managing atrial fibrillation or deep vein thrombosis with Rovor 15 Tablet 10, maintain a healthy weight. Excess weight can strain your heart and blood vessels, potentially worsening your condition.

• Include plenty of fibre in your diet. Fibre can help prevent constipation, a potential side effect of Rovor 15 Tablet 10. Foods rich in fibre include fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
