NRA-Rivaroxaban Tablets (rivaroxaban) film-coated tablet (20 mg) is indicated for the: • treatment of venous thromboembolic events (VTE) and prevention of VTE recurrence in children and adolescents aged less than 18 years and weighing more than 50 kg after at least 5 days of initial parenteral anticoagulation treatment (see 4 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION).
Acute Pulmonary Embolus in hemodynamically unstable patients, or in those requiring thrombolysis or pulmonary embolectomy For the treatment of VTE, NRA-Rivaroxaban Tablets is not recommended as an alternative to unfractionated heparin in patients with pulmonary embolus who are hemodynamically unstable, or who may receive thrombolysis or pulmonary embolectomy, since the safety and efficacy of rivaroxaban have not been established in these clinical situations (see 4 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION).
1 Pediatrics Pediatrics (< 18 years of age): In children less than 18 years of age, the safety and efficacy of rivaroxaban have not been established for indications other than treatment of venous thromboembolic events (VTE) and prevention of VTE recurrence.
Therefore, NRA-Rivaroxaban Tablets is not recommended for use in children below 18 years of age for indications other than the treatment of VTE and prevention of VTE recurrence. 3 Pediatrics). 4 Geriatrics and Renal Impairment, and 4 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION – Renal Impairment and Geriatrics (>65 years of age)).

1 Adverse Reaction Overview Prevention of VTE after THR or TKR The safety of rivaroxaban 10 mg has been evaluated in three randomized, double-blind, active- control Phase III studies (RECORD 1, RECORD 2, and RECORD 3). In the Phase III studies, 4657 patients undergoing total hip replacement or total knee replacement surgery were randomized to rivaroxaban, with 4571 patients actually receiving rivaroxaban.
In RECORD 1 and 2, a total of 2209 and 1228 THR patients, respectively, were randomized to rivaroxaban 10 mg od. In RECORD 1, the treatment period for both groups was 35±4 days postoperatively. In RECORD 2, patients randomized to rivaroxaban were treated for 35 ±4 days postoperatively, and patients randomized to enoxaparin received placebo after day 12±2 until day 35±4 postoperatively.
In RECORD 3, a total of 1220 TKR patients were randomized to rivaroxaban10 mg od, and both groups received study drug until day 12±2 postoperatively. Treatment of VTE and Prevention of Recurrent DVT and PE The safety of rivaroxaban has been evaluated in four Phase III trials with 6790 patients treated up to 21 months.
Patients were exposed to 15 mg rivaroxaban twice daily for 3 weeks followed by: • 20 mg once daily (EINSTEIN DVT, EINSTEIN PE) or • 20 mg once daily after at least 6 months of treatment for DVT or PE (EINSTEIN Extension), or • 20 mg or 10 mg rivaroxaban once daily after at least 6 months of treatment for DVT or PE (EINSTEIN CHOICE).
The mean treatment duration was 194 days in EINSTEIN DVT, 183 days in EINSTEIN PE, 188 days in EINSTEIN Extension and 290 days in EINSTEIN CHOICE. 2% for ASA (EINSTEIN CHOICE). Prevention of Stroke and Systemic Embolism in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation (SPAF) In the pivotal double-blind ROCKET AF study, a total of 14,264 patients with atrial fibrillation at risk for stroke and systemic embolism were randomly assigned to treatment with either rivaroxaban (7,131) or warfarin (7,133) in 45 countries.

0. The safety population included patients who were randomized and took at least 1 dose of study medication. In total, 14,236 patients were included in the safety population, with 7,111 and 7,125 patients in rivaroxaban and warfarin groups, respectively.
The median time on treatment was 19 months and overall treatment duration was up to 41 months. 2% in the warfarin group. 5 mg bid in combination with ASA 100 mg od (9,152), rivaroxaban 5 mg bid alone (9,117) or ASA 100 mg od (9,126).
The intention-to-treat (ITT) analysis set includes all randomized subjects. The median duration of treatment for any of the antithrombotic study drugs was 615 days and was similar for all 3 treatment groups. 6% in the ASA 100 mg od arm.
Bleeding Due to the pharmacological mode of action, rivaroxaban is associated with an increased risk of occult or overt bleeding from any tissue and organ (see 7 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS – Bleeding, and Drug Interactions). g, patients with uncontrolled severe arterial hypertension and/or on concomitant medication affecting hemostasis (see Table 4).
The signs, symptoms, and severity (including fatal outcome) will vary according to the location and degree or extent of the bleeding and/or anemia. Hemorrhagic complications may present as weakness, paleness, dizziness, headache or unexplained swelling, dyspnea, and unexplained shock.
In some cases, as a consequence of anemia, symptoms of cardiac ischemia like chest pain or angina pectoris have been observed. Known complications secondary to severe bleeding such as compartment syndrome and renal failure due to hypoperfusion have been reported for rivaroxaban.
Therefore, the possibility of a hemorrhage should be considered in evaluating the medical condition in any anticoagulated patient. Major or severe bleeding may occur and, regardless of location, may lead to disabling, life- threatening or even fatal outcomes.
Since the adverse event profiles of the patient populations treated with rivaroxaban for different indications are not interchangeable, a summary description of major and total bleeding is provided by indication, in Table 5 for VTE prevention in patients undergoing elective THR or TKR surgery, in Table 6 for Treatment of VTE and prevention of recurrent DVT and PE, in Table 7 for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation, and in Table 8 for prevention of stroke, myocardial infarction (MI), cardiovascular (CV) death, acute limb ischemia (ALI) and mortality in patients with CAD with or without PAD or prevention of atherothrombotic events in patients with symptomatic PAD at demonstrated high risk of major adverse limb […]
In patients receiving prophylactic heparin, LMWH or fondaparinux, NRA-Rivaroxaban Tablets can be started 6 or more hours after the last prophylactic dose. Switching from NRA-Rivaroxaban Tablets to Parenteral Anticoagulants Discontinue NRA-Rivaroxaban Tablets and give the first dose of parenteral anticoagulant at the time that the next NRA-Rivaroxaban Tablets dose was scheduled to be taken.
Switching from Vitamin K Antagonists (VKA) to NRA-Rivaroxaban Tablets To switch from a VKA to NRA-Rivaroxaban Tablets, stop the VKA and determine the INR. 5, start NRA-Rivaroxaban Tablets at the usual dose. 5 (see Considerations for INR Monitoring of VKA Activity during Concomitant NRA-Rivaroxaban Tablets Therapy).
Switching from NRA-Rivaroxaban Tablets to a VKA As with any short-acting anticoagulant, there is a potential for inadequate anticoagulation when transitioning from NRA-Rivaroxaban Tablets to a VKA. It is important to maintain an adequate level of anticoagulation when transitioning patients from one anticoagulant to another.
0. For the first 2 days of the conversion period, the VKA can be given in the usual starting doses without INR testing (see Considerations for INR Monitoring of VKA Activity during Concomitant NRA-Rivaroxaban Tablets Therapy). Children who switch from NRA-Rivaroxaban Tablets to VKA need to continue NRA-Rivaroxaban Tablets for 48 hours after the first dose of VKA.
Thereafter, while on concomitant therapy, the INR should be tested just prior to the next dose of NRA- Rivaroxaban Tablets, as appropriate. 0. Once NRA-Rivaroxaban Tablets is discontinued, INR testing may be done at least 24 hours after the last dose of NRA-Rivaroxaban Tablets and should then reliably reflect the anticoagulant effect of the VKA.
Considerations for INR Monitoring of VKA Activity during Concomitant NRA-Rivaroxaban Tablets Therapy NRA-Rivaroxaban Tablets (Rivaroxaban Tablets) Page 7 of 107 In general, after starting VKA therapy, the initial anticoagulant effect is not readily apparent for at least 2 days, while the full therapeutic effect is achieved in 5-7 days.
Consequently, INR monitoring in the first 2 days after starting a VKA is rarely necessary. Likewise, the INR may remain increased for a number of days after stopping VKA therapy. Although rivaroxaban therapy […]
