Rivaroxaban is an anticoagulant which binds directly to factor Xa. Thereafter, it effectively blocks the amplification of the coagulation cascade, preventing the formation of thrombus. It doesn’t not involve antithrombin III (ATIII) to exert its anticoagulant effects and is an oral agent. No test is recommended for the assessment of the pharmacodynamics effects of rivaroxaban.

Absorption: Following oral administration, rivaroxaban is rapidly absorbed and reaches peak plasma concentration in 2-4 hrs. Bioavailability is >80%. Distribution: Plasma protein binding is about 92%-95%. Metabolism: Approximately two-third of the dose is metabolized by CYP3A4, CYP3A5, CYP2J2 and CYP-independent mechanism. Elimination: Two-third of the rivaroxaban is excreted into urine and remaining one third via faeces.
