Orthopedic surgeons in Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad, and Rawalpindi commonly prescribe Rivaxo after major joint surgery. It lowers the chance of a clot forming in the legs during recovery.
Rivaroxaban blocks a clotting factor called Factor Xa. This slows the blood's ability to form dangerous clots.
Never stop this medicine suddenly without your doctor's advice. Stopping early can raise your clot risk sharply.
