Description

Revoban 10mg is an anticoagulant tablet manufactured by ATCO Laboratories, containing Rivaroxaban as its active ingredient. Rivaroxaban belongs to a class of medicines known as direct factor Xa inhibitors, which work by blocking a specific clotting factor in the blood, reducing the ability of blood to form clots. This lower-strength tablet is often used for prevention purposes or as a maintenance dose following initial treatment with a higher strength. Each pack contains 10 tablets. Revoban is available only with a valid prescription and should be used strictly under medical supervision due to its effect on blood clotting.

Ingredients

The primary active ingredient in Revoban is Rivaroxaban, 10mg per tablet, along with standard pharmaceutical excipients that support tablet formulation, stability, and absorption, manufactured according to the quality standards of ATCO Laboratories.

Dosage Form

Revoban is available as an oral tablet, containing 10mg of Rivaroxaban per tablet, supplied in a pack of 10 tablets.

Uses

Revoban 10mg is commonly prescribed for the prevention of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), which may lead to pulmonary embolism, particularly in patients undergoing certain orthopedic surgeries such as hip or knee replacement. It may also be used as a lower maintenance dose for the extended prevention of recurrent blood clots after initial treatment with a higher-strength dose. The specific condition, dose, and duration of therapy should always be determined by a qualified healthcare provider based on individual risk factors.

How to Use

Revoban should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor, with or without food, depending on the specific reason for treatment. Swallow the tablet with a glass of water at the same time each day to maintain consistent blood levels. Do not stop taking this medicine without consulting your doctor, as discontinuing it suddenly can increase the risk of clot formation. Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully regarding the duration of treatment, particularly after surgery.

Side Effects

The most common side effect of Revoban is an increased tendency to bleed, which can range from minor bruising or nosebleeds to more significant bleeding. Other reported effects include nausea, dizziness, and mild abdominal discomfort. Serious side effects may include unusual bleeding, blood in urine or stool, prolonged bleeding from cuts, or signs of internal bleeding such as severe headache or weakness, all of which require immediate medical attention.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Revoban is generally not recommended during pregnancy, as its safety for the developing baby has not been well established, and alternative treatments are often preferred. It should also not be used while breastfeeding unless specifically advised by a doctor, as it may pass into breast milk. Women who are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding should discuss alternative options with their healthcare provider.

Storage Instructions

Store Revoban tablets at room temperature, away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture. Keep the medicine in its original packaging, tightly closed, and out of reach of children. Do not use tablets beyond their printed expiry date.
