Rivaban 2.5mg Tablet is a medication that works as a blood thinner or anticoagulant. It helps to prevent and treat blood clots in different parts of the body, such as the veins of the legs, lungs, brain, and heart. The medicine is commonly prescribed to reduce the risk of stroke and heart attack in patients with irregular heart rhythm (atrial fibrillation) by preventing the formation of clots. Additionally, it can reduce the risk of clotting in people who have undergone knee or hip replacement surgeries.To ensure the best results, Rivaban 2.5mg Tablet should be taken with food at the same time every day. It may need to be taken for a prolonged period, even for life, depending on the patient's condition. It is crucial to follow the dosage instructions provided by the doctor and not stop taking the medication or change the dose without consulting them. Abruptly discontinuing the medication or changing the dose can increase the risk of heart attack, stroke, or thrombosis (blood clot formation).While taking Rivaban 2.5mg Tablet, it is advisable to make lifestyle changes that can reduce the risk of blood clot formation, such as quitting smoking, consuming a healthy diet, engaging in regular exercise, and losing weight if necessary. The most common side effect of the medication is increased bleeding, which can result in nosebleeds or bruising. If any bleeding symptoms occur, inform the doctor immediately. Patients with severe liver or kidney problems or who are already bleeding or taking other medications that reduce blood clotting should avoid taking this medicine. Additionally, breastfeeding women should avoid using Rivaban 2.5mg Tablet. It is different from other anticoagulants in that it does not require regular blood tests (PT-INR) while taking this medication.
