Posology Prevention of stroke and systemic embolism in adults The recommended dose is 20 mg once daily, which is also the recommended maximum dose. 4). If a dose is missed the patient should take rivaroxaban immediately and continue on the following day with the once daily intake as recommended.
The dose should not be doubled within the same day to make up for a missed dose. Treatment of DVT, treatment of PE and prevention of recurrent DVT and PE in adults 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 10 mg once daily, a dose of rivaroxaban 20 mg once daily should be considered.

If a dose is missed during the 15 mg twice daily treatment phase (day 1 - 21), the patient should take rivaroxaban immediately to ensure intake of 30 mg rivaroxaban per day. In this case two 15 mg tablets 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 immediately, and continue on the following day with the once daily intake as recommended. The dose should not be doubled within the same day to make up for a missed dose.
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.

1). The dose for children and adolescent is calculated based on body weight. - Body weight from 30 to 50 kg: a once daily dose of 15 mg rivaroxaban is recommended. This is the maximum daily dose. - Body weight of 50 kg or more: a once daily dose of 20 mg rivaroxaban is recommended.
This is the maximum daily dose. - For patients with body weight less than 30 kg refer to the Summary of Product Characteristics of Rivaroxaban granules for oral suspension. The weight of a child should be monitored and the dose reviewed regularly.
This is to ensure a therapeutic dose is maintained. Dose adjustments should be made based on changes in body weight only. Treatment should be continued for at least 3 months in children and adolescents. Treatment can be extended up to 12 months when clinically necessary.
There is no data available in children to support a dose reduction after 6 months treatment. The benefit-risk of continued therapy after 3 months should be assessed on an individual basis taking into account the risk for recurrent thrombosis versus the potential bleeding risk.
If a dose is missed, the missed dose should be taken as soon as possible after it is noticed, but only on the same day. If this is not possible, the patient should skip the dose and continue with the next dose as prescribed. The patient should not take two doses to make up for a missed dose.
0. 5. When converting patients from VKAs to rivaroxaban, INR values will 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. Once […]
