How does XARELTO® work?

XARELTO® slows your body's ability to clot by selectively blocking one of the
clotting factors found in your blood—an enzyme called Factor Xa ("10a").

WHAT IS XARELTO® (rivaroxaban)?

XARELTO® is a prescription medicine used to:

 * reduce the risk of stroke and blood clots in adults who have a medical
   condition called atrial fibrillation that is not caused by a heart valve
   problem. With atrial fibrillation, part of the heart does not beat the way it
   should. This can lead to the formation of blood clots, which can travel to
   the brain, causing a stroke, or to other parts of the body
 * treat blood clots in the veins of your legs (deep vein thrombosis or DVT) or
   lungs (pulmonary embolism or PE)
 * reduce the risk of blood clots from happening again in adults who continue to
   be at risk for DVT or PE after receiving treatment for blood clots for at
   least 6 months
 * help prevent a blood clot in the legs and lungs of adults who have just had
   hip or knee replacement surgery
 * help prevent blood clots in certain adults hospitalized for an acute illness
   and after discharge, who are at risk of getting blood clots because of the
   loss of or decreased ability to move around (mobility) and other risks for
   getting blood clots, and who do not have a high risk of bleeding

XARELTO® is used with low dose aspirin to:

 * reduce the risk of serious heart problems, heart attack and stroke in adults
   with coronary artery disease (a condition where the blood supply to the heart
   is reduced or blocked)
 * reduce the risk of a sudden decrease in blood flow to the legs, major
   amputation, serious heart problems or stroke in adults with peripheral artery
   disease (a condition where the blood flow to the legs is reduced) and
   includes adults who have recently had a procedure to improve blood flow to
   the legs

XARELTO® is used in children to:

 * treat blood clots or reduce the risk of blood clots from happening again in
   children from birth to less than 18 years, after receiving at least 5 days of
   treatment with injectable or intravenous medicines used to treat blood clots
 * help prevent blood clots in children 2 years and older with congenital heart
   disease after the Fontan procedure

XARELTO® was not studied and is not recommended in children less than 6 months
of age who:

 * were less than 37 weeks of growth (gestation) at birth
 * had less than 10 days of oral feeding, or
 * had a body weight of less than 5.7 pounds (2.6 kg)

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT INFORMATION I SHOULD KNOW ABOUT XARELTO®?

XARELTO® may cause serious side effects, including:

 * Increased risk of blood clots if you stop taking XARELTO®. People with atrial
   fibrillation (an irregular heart beat) that is not caused by a heart valve
   problem (nonvalvular) are at an increased risk of forming a blood clot in the
   heart, which can travel to the brain, causing a stroke, or to other parts of
   the body. XARELTO® lowers your chance of having a stroke by helping to
   prevent clots from forming. If you stop taking XARELTO®, you may have
   increased risk of forming a clot in your blood.

Do not stop taking XARELTO® without talking to the doctor who prescribes it for
you. Stopping XARELTO® increases your risk of having a stroke. If you have to
stop taking XARELTO®, your doctor may prescribe another blood thinner medicine
to prevent a blood clot from forming.

 * Increased risk of bleeding. XARELTO® can cause bleeding which can be serious
   and may lead to death. This is because XARELTO® is a blood thinner medicine
   (anticoagulant) that lowers blood clotting. During treatment with XARELTO®
   you are likely to bruise more easily, and it may take longer for bleeding to
   stop. You may be at higher risk of bleeding if you take XARELTO® and have
   certain other medical problems.

You may have a higher risk of bleeding if you take XARELTO® and take other
medicines that increase your risk of bleeding, including:

 * Aspirin or aspirin-containing products
 * Long-term (chronic) use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
 * Warfarin sodium (Coumadin®, Jantoven®)
 * Any medicine that contains heparin
 * Clopidogrel (Plavix®)
 * Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) or serotonin norepinephrine
   reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs)
 * Other medicines to prevent or treat blood clots

Tell your doctor if you take any of these medicines. Ask your doctor or
pharmacist if you are not sure if your medicine is one listed above.

Call your doctor or get medical help right away if you or your child develop any
of these signs or symptoms of bleeding:

 * Unexpected bleeding or bleeding that lasts a long time, such as:
   * Nosebleeds that happen often
   * Unusual bleeding from gums
   * Menstrual bleeding that is heavier than normal, or vaginal bleeding
 * Bleeding that is severe or you cannot control
 * Red, pink, or brown urine
 * Bright red or black stools (looks like tar)
 * Cough up blood or blood clots
 * Vomit blood or your vomit looks like “coffee grounds”
 * Headaches, feeling dizzy or weak
 * Pain, swelling, or new drainage at wound sites

 

 * Spinal or epidural blood clots (hematoma). People who take a blood thinner
   medicine (anticoagulant) like XARELTO®, and have medicine injected into their
   spinal and epidural area, or have a spinal puncture, have a risk of forming a
   blood clot that can cause long-term or permanent loss of the ability to move
   (paralysis). Your risk of developing a spinal or epidural blood clot is
   higher if:
   * A thin tube called an epidural catheter is placed in your back to give you
     certain medicine
   * You take NSAIDs or a medicine to prevent blood from clotting
   * You have a history of difficult or repeated epidural or spinal punctures
   * You have a history of problems with your spine or have had surgery on your
     spine

If you take XARELTO® and receive spinal anesthesia or have a spinal puncture,
your doctor should watch you closely for symptoms of spinal or epidural blood
clots.

Tell your doctor right away if you have:

 * back pain
 * tingling
 * numbness
 * muscle weakness (especially in your legs and feet)
 * or loss of control of the bowels or bladder (incontinence)

XARELTO® is not for use in people with artificial heart valves.

XARELTO® is not for use in people with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS),
especially with positive triple antibody testing.

Do not take XARELTO® if you or your child:

 * Currently have certain types of abnormal bleeding. Talk to your doctor before
   taking XARELTO® if you currently have unusual bleeding.
 * Are allergic to rivaroxaban or any of the ingredients of XARELTO®.

Before taking XARELTO®, tell your doctor about all your medical conditions,
including if you or your child:

 * Have ever had bleeding problems
 * Have liver or kidney problems
 * Have antiphospholipid syndrome (APS)
 * Are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. It is not known if XARELTO® will
   harm your unborn baby.
   * Tell your doctor right away if you become pregnant during treatment with
     XARELTO®. Taking XARELTO® while you are pregnant may increase the risk of
     bleeding in you or in your unborn baby.
   * Females who are able to become pregnant: Talk with your doctor about
     pregnancy planning during treatment with XARELTO®. Talk with your doctor
     about your risk for severe uterine bleeding if you are treated with blood
     thinner medicines, including XARELTO®.
   * If you take XARELTO® during pregnancy, tell your doctor right away if you
     have any signs or symptoms of bleeding or blood loss. See “What is the most
     important information I should know about XARELTO®?” for signs and symptoms
     of bleeding.
 * Are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed. XARELTO® may pass into your breast
   milk. Talk to your doctor about the best way to feed your baby during
   treatment with XARELTO®.

Tell all of your doctors and dentists that you or your child are taking
XARELTO®. They should talk to the doctor who prescribed XARELTO® for you before
you have any surgery, medical or dental procedure.

Tell your doctor about all the medicines you or your child take, including
prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements.

Some of your other medicines may affect the way XARELTO® works, causing side
effects. Certain medicines may increase your risk of bleeding. See “What is the
most important information I should know about XARELTO®?”

HOW SHOULD I TAKE XARELTO®?

WHAT IS XARELTO® (rivaroxaban)?

XARELTO® is a prescription medicine used to:

 * reduce the risk of stroke and blood clots in adults who have a medical
   condition called atrial fibrillation that is not caused by a heart valve
   problem. With atrial fibrillation, part of the heart does not beat the way it
   should. This can lead to the formation of blood clots, which can travel to
   the brain, causing a stroke, or to other parts of the body
 * treat blood clots in the veins of your legs (deep vein thrombosis or DVT) or
   lungs (pulmonary embolism or PE)
 * reduce the risk of blood clots from happening again in adults who continue to
   be at risk for DVT or PE after receiving treatment for blood clots for at
   least 6 months
 * help prevent a blood clot in the legs and lungs of adults who have just had
   hip or knee replacement surgery
 * help prevent blood clots in certain adults hospitalized for an acute illness
   and after discharge, who are at risk of getting blood clots because of the
   loss of or decreased ability to move around (mobility) and other risks for
   getting blood clots, and who do not have a high risk of bleeding

XARELTO® is used with low dose aspirin to:

 * reduce the risk of serious heart problems, heart attack and stroke in adults
   with coronary artery disease (a condition where the blood supply to the heart
   is reduced or blocked)
 * reduce the risk of a sudden decrease in blood flow to the legs, major
   amputation, serious heart problems or stroke in adults with peripheral artery
   disease (a condition where the blood flow to the legs is reduced) and
   includes adults who have recently had a procedure to improve blood flow to
   the legs

XARELTO® is used in children to:

 * treat blood clots or reduce the risk of blood clots from happening again in
   children from birth to less than 18 years, after receiving at least 5 days of
   treatment with injectable or intravenous medicines used to treat blood clots
 * help prevent blood clots in children 2 years and older with congenital heart
   disease after the Fontan procedure

XARELTO® was not studied and is not recommended in children less than 6 months
of age who:

 * were less than 37 weeks of growth (gestation) at birth
 * had less than 10 days of oral feeding, or
 * had a body weight of less than 5.7 pounds (2.6 kg)

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT INFORMATION I SHOULD KNOW ABOUT XARELTO®?

XARELTO® may cause serious side effects, including:

 * Increased risk of blood clots if you stop taking XARELTO®. People with atrial
   fibrillation (an irregular heart beat) that is not caused by a heart valve
   problem (nonvalvular) are at an increased risk of forming a blood clot in the
   heart, which can travel to the brain, causing a stroke, or to other parts of
   the body. XARELTO® lowers your chance of having a stroke by helping to
   prevent clots from forming. If you stop taking XARELTO®, you may have
   increased risk of forming a clot in your blood.

Do not stop taking XARELTO® without talking to the doctor who prescribes it for
you. Stopping XARELTO® increases your risk of having a stroke. If you have to
stop taking XARELTO®, your doctor may prescribe another blood thinner medicine
to prevent a blood clot from forming.

 * Increased risk of bleeding. XARELTO® can cause bleeding which can be serious
   and may lead to death. This is because XARELTO® is a blood thinner medicine
   (anticoagulant) that lowers blood clotting. During treatment with XARELTO®
   you are likely to bruise more easily, and it may take longer for bleeding to
   stop. You may be at higher risk of bleeding if you take XARELTO® and have
   certain other medical problems.

You may have a higher risk of bleeding if you take XARELTO® and take other
medicines that increase your risk of bleeding, including:

 * Aspirin or aspirin-containing products
 * Long-term (chronic) use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
 * Warfarin sodium (Coumadin®, Jantoven®)
 * Any medicine that contains heparin
 * Clopidogrel (Plavix®)
 * Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) or serotonin norepinephrine
   reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs)
 * Other medicines to prevent or treat blood clots

Tell your doctor if you take any of these medicines. Ask your doctor or
pharmacist if you are not sure if your medicine is one listed above.

Call your doctor or get medical help right away if you or your child develop any
of these signs or symptoms of bleeding:

 * Unexpected bleeding or bleeding that lasts a long time, such as:
   * Nosebleeds that happen often
   * Unusual bleeding from gums
   * Menstrual bleeding that is heavier than normal, or vaginal bleeding
 * Bleeding that is severe or you cannot control
 * Red, pink, or brown urine
 * Bright red or black stools (looks like tar)
 * Cough up blood or blood clots
 * Vomit blood or your vomit looks like “coffee grounds”
 * Headaches, feeling dizzy or weak
 * Pain, swelling, or new drainage at wound sites

 

 * Spinal or epidural blood clots (hematoma). People who take a blood thinner
   medicine (anticoagulant) like XARELTO®, and have medicine injected into their
   spinal and epidural area, or have a spinal puncture, have a risk of forming a
   blood clot that can cause long-term or permanent loss of the ability to move
   (paralysis). Your risk of developing a spinal or epidural blood clot is
   higher if:
   * A thin tube called an epidural catheter is placed in your back to give you
     certain medicine
   * You take NSAIDs or a medicine to prevent blood from clotting
   * You have a history of difficult or repeated epidural or spinal punctures
   * You have a history of problems with your spine or have had surgery on your
     spine

If you take XARELTO® and receive spinal anesthesia or have a spinal puncture,
your doctor should watch you closely for symptoms of spinal or epidural blood
clots.

Tell your doctor right away if you have:

 * back pain
 * tingling
 * numbness
 * muscle weakness (especially in your legs and feet)
 * or loss of control of the bowels or bladder (incontinence)

XARELTO® is not for use in people with artificial heart valves.

XARELTO® is not for use in people with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS),
especially with positive triple antibody testing.

Do not take XARELTO® if you or your child:

 * Currently have certain types of abnormal bleeding. Talk to your doctor before
   taking XARELTO® if you currently have unusual bleeding.
 * Are allergic to rivaroxaban or any of the ingredients of XARELTO®.

Before taking XARELTO®, tell your doctor about all your medical conditions,
including if you or your child:

 * Have ever had bleeding problems
 * Have liver or kidney problems
 * Have antiphospholipid syndrome (APS)
 * Are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. It is not known if XARELTO® will
   harm your unborn baby.
   * Tell your doctor right away if you become pregnant during treatment with
     XARELTO®. Taking XARELTO® while you are pregnant may increase the risk of
     bleeding in you or in your unborn baby.
   * Females who are able to become pregnant: Talk with your doctor about
     pregnancy planning during treatment with XARELTO®. Talk with your doctor
     about your risk for severe uterine bleeding if you are treated with blood
     thinner medicines, including XARELTO®.
   * If you take XARELTO® during pregnancy, tell your doctor right away if you
     have any signs or symptoms of bleeding or blood loss. See “What is the most
     important information I should know about XARELTO®?” for signs and symptoms
     of bleeding.
 * Are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed. XARELTO® may pass into your breast
   milk. Talk to your doctor about the best way to feed your baby during
   treatment with XARELTO®.
