Rivaroxaban Accord

5 mg twice daily. 5 mg twice daily should also take a daily dose of 75-100 mg ASA or a daily dose of 75-100 mg ASA in addition to either a daily dose of 75 mg clopidogrel or a standard daily dose of ticlopidine. Treatment should be regularly evaluated in the individual patient weighing the risk for ischaemic events against the bleeding risks.

1). Treatment with rivaroxaban should be started as soon as possible after stabilisation of the ACS event (including revascularisation procedures); at the earliest 24 hours after admission to hospital and at the time when parenteral anticoagulation therapy would normally be discontinued.

5 mg twice daily should also take a daily dose of 75-100 mg ASA. 1). Duration of treatment should be determined for each individual patient based on regular evaluations and should consider the risk for thrombotic events versus the bleeding risks.

5 mg twice daily should be evaluated depending on the type of event or procedure and antiplatelet regimen. 1) Missed dose If a dose is missed the patient should continue with the regular dose as recommended at the next scheduled time.

The dose should not be doubled to make up for a missed dose. Converting from Vitamin K Antagonists (VKA) to rivaroxaban When converting patients from VKAs to rivaroxaban, International Normalised Ratio (INR) values could be falsely elevated after the intake of rivaroxaban.

5). Converting from rivaroxaban to Vitamin K antagonists (VKA) There is a potential for inadequate anticoagulation during the transition from rivaroxaban to VKA. Continuous adequate anticoagulation should be ensured during any transition to an alternate anticoagulant.

It should be noted that rivaroxaban can contribute to an elevated INR. 0. For the first two days of the conversion period, standard initial dosing of VKA should be used followed by VKA dosing, as guided by INR testing. While patients are on both rivaroxaban and VKA the INR should not be tested earlier than 24 hours after the previous dose but prior to the next dose of rivaroxaban.

2). g. g. intravenous unfractionated heparin). Converting from rivaroxaban to parenteral anticoagulants Give the first dose of parenteral anticoagulant at the time the next rivaroxaban dose would be taken. Special populations Renal impairment Limited clinical data for patients with severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance 15-29 ml/min) indicate that rivaroxaban plasma concentrations are significantly increased.

Summary of the safety profile The safety of rivaroxaban has been evaluated in thirteen pivotal phase III studies (see Table 1). Overall, 69,608 adult patients in nineteen phase III studies and 488 paediatric patients in two phase II and two phase III studies were exposed to rivaroxaban.

Frequencies are defined as: very common (≥ 1/10) common (≥ 1/100 to < 1/10) uncommon (≥ 1/1,000 to < 1/100) rare (≥ 1/10,000 to < 1/1,000) very rare ( < 1/10,000) not known (cannot be estimated from the available data) Table 3: All adverse reactions reported in adult patients in phase III clinical studies or through post marketing use* and in two phase II and two phase III studies in paediatric patients Common Uncommon Rare Very rare Not known Blood and lymphatic system disorders Anaemia (incl.

Rivaroxaban Accord, co-administered with acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), is indicated for the prevention of atherothrombotic events in adult patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) or symptomatic peripheral artery disease (PAD) at high risk of ischaemic events.

5 mg twice daily. 5 mg twice daily should also take a daily dose of 75-100 mg ASA or a daily dose of 75-100 mg ASA in addition to either a daily dose of 75 mg clopidogrel or a standard daily dose of ticlopidine.

1. Active clinically significant bleeding. Lesion or condition, if considered to be a significant risk for major bleeding. This may include current or recent gastrointestinal ulceration, presence of malignant neoplasms at high risk of bleeding, recent brain or spinal injury, recent brain, spinal or ophthalmic surgery, recent intracranial haemorrhage, known or suspected oesophageal varices, arteriovenous malformations, vascular aneurysms or major intraspinal or intracerebral vascular abnormalities.
