利伐沙班一般要吃多久呢？

(Alias: Xarelto) is a highly selective oral drug that directly inhibits factor Xa. By inhibiting factor Xa, it can interrupt the endogenous and exogenous pathways of the coagulation cascade and inhibit thrombin generation and thrombosis.

Rivaroxaban is used in adult patients undergoing elective hip or knee replacement surgery to prevent venous thrombosis (VTE), and the efficacy of rivaroxaban has been confirmed. How long should rivaroxaban be generally taken?

Duration of taking rivaroxaban: Rivaroxaban generally requires lifelong medication to treat lower extremity arteriosclerotic occlusion.

How long you usually need to take rivaroxaban is not necessarily certain, because everyone's condition and physique are different, so the absorption of the drug is different. Everyone still needs to look at clinical treatment to guide how long rivaroxaban should be taken.

The specific duration of taking rivaroxaban (for reference only):

1. Rivaroxaban has obvious anticoagulant effect and low bleeding risk. It is a good preventive and therapeutic anticoagulant drug. Preventive anticoagulant therapy, such as prophylactic anticoagulant therapy for patients after orthopedic joint replacement or fracture surgery, can be stopped after the risk factors are eliminated.

2. For patients with atrial fibrillation, rivaroxaban needs to be used for a long time to prevent embolism in important organs such as the brain caused by thrombus shedding, and the drug cannot be stopped at will. If the medication needs to be discontinued, such as for surgery, a specialist will be required to make a comprehensive judgment on how to discontinue the medication and make transitional medication after consultation.

3. For the treatment of deep vein thrombosis of the lower limbs, rivaroxaban is generally used, and the minimum treatment course is generally three months. After three months, the ultrasound, blood routine, coagulation function and D-dimer will be reviewed, and the risk and benefit of coagulation will be assessed before deciding whether to extend the anticoagulant treatment with rivaroxaban. In short, antithrombotic treatment cannot be stopped at will. When bleeding and other conditions occur, a specialist's comprehensive judgment is required before deciding whether to apply it and how to apply it.
