Revoban (10mg) 10 Tablets

This medicine is used to treat blood clots. It contains Rivaroxaban, an anticoagulant, which binds directly to factor Xa and blocks the amplification of the coagulation cascade, preventing the formation of blood clots.

Anticoagulant

Rivaroxaban is used to treat and prevent deep venous thrombosis (DVT), a condition in which harmful blood clots form in the blood vessels of the legs. These blood clots can travel to the lungs and can become lodged in the blood vessels of the lungs, causing a condition called pulmonary embolism (PE).
