Xarelto 15 mg Tablets contain rivaroxaban, an oral anticoagulant that helps reduce the risk of blood clots and stroke in patients with specific conditions. Xarelto is prescribed to prevent deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), and to reduce the risk of stroke in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AFib). By inhibiting certain clotting factors, Xarelto prevents the formation of harmful blood clots, reducing the risk of serious conditions such as stroke and DVT.

The 15 mg dosage is typically used in patients who require a higher strength of rivaroxaban for the treatment of active conditions like DVT, PE, or for transitioning to long-term anticoagulation therapy.
