Viklot 20 MG Description

Viklot Tablet contains rivaroxaban, an anticoagulant (prevent clots) medicine. It is used to prevent blood clots in blood vessels of the brain (stroke) and other parts of the body in a patient with i

rregular heart rhythm. Xarelto 10 is used to treat or prevent blood clots in the veins of the legs (deep vein thrombosis) or the prevention of blood clots in blood vessels of the lungs (pulmonary embolism).

Do not stop taking this medicine on your own. Avoid direct contact with sharp objects such as knives, blades, etc., while on this Tablet, as it may increase the risk of bleeding.
