Rivaroxaban Koanaa is a brand name for Rivaroxaban. The medicine, its uses, side effects and dosage are the same regardless of brand.
Used for: Prevention of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in adult patients undergoing elective hip or knee replacement surgery. Treatment of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), and prevention of recurrent DVT and PE in adults. (See section 4.4 for haemodynamically unstable PE patients.)

Posology Prevention of VTE in adult patients undergoing elective hip or knee replacement surgery The recommended dose is 10 mg rivaroxaban taken orally once daily. The initial dose should be taken 6 to 10 hours after surgery, provided that haemostasis has been established.
The duration of treatment depends on the individual risk of the patient for venous thromboembolism which is determined by the type of orthopaedic surgery. • For patients undergoing major hip surgery, a treatment duration of 5 weeks is recommended.
• For patients undergoing major knee surgery, a treatment duration of 2 weeks is recommended. If a dose is missed the patient should take Rivaroxaban Koanaa immediately and then continue the following day with once daily intake as before.
Treatment of DVT, treatment of PE and prevention of recurrent DVT and PE 3 The recommended dose for the initial treatment of acute DVT or PE is 15 mg twice daily for the first three weeks followed by 20 mg once daily for the continued treatment and prevention of recurrent DVT and PE.
e. recent major surgery or trauma). Longer duration of therapy should be considered in patients with provoked DVT or PE not related to major transient risk factors, unprovoked DVT or PE, or a history of recurrent DVT or PE. When extended prevention of recurrent DVT and PE is indicated (following completion of at least 6 months therapy for DVT or PE), the recommended dose is 10 mg once daily.
In patients in whom the risk of recurrent DVT or PE is considered high, such as those with complicated comorbidities, or who have developed recurrent DVT or PE on extended prevention with Rivaroxaban Koanaa 10 mg once daily, a dose of Rivaroxaban Koanaa 20 mg once daily should be considered.

In this case two 15 mg Orodispersible films may be taken at once. The patient should continue with the regular 15 mg twice daily intake as recommended on the following day. If a dose is missed during the once daily treatment phase, the patient should take Rivaroxaban Koanaa immediately, and continue on the following day with the once daily intake as recommended.
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.

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.

The dose should not be doubled within the same day to make up for a missed dose. 5. When converting patients from VKAs to Rivaroxaban Koanaa, International Normalised Ratio (INR) values will be falsely elevated after the intake of Rivaroxaban Koanaa.
5). Converting from Rivaroxaban Koanaa to Vitamin K antagonists (VKA) There is a potential for inadequate anticoagulation during the transition from Rivaroxaban Koanaa to VKA. Continuous adequate anticoagulation should be ensured during any transition to an alternate anticoagulant.
It should be noted that Rivaroxaban Koanaa 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.
