What should I do if Rivaroxaban is missed

Everyone knows to take medication on time, but in life, there will always be situations where people accidentally miss their medication time or forget to take it. For example, for patients with atrial fibrillation, anticoagulant drugs need to be taken on time every day. But what if they accidentally forget or miss taking them? Today, I would like to talk to you about the questions that many people are concerned about: "What should I do if I miss taking rivaroxaban?" "Do I need to double the dosage for the next dose?"

First of all, let me explain that if I miss taking rivaroxaban once, I don't need to use double the dosage for the next dose. You can take it again within 12 hours after missing it. If it exceeds 12 hours, there is no need to take additional medication, and the next dose should be taken according to the original plan.

Pusitong rivaroxaban tablets are a highly anticipated new type of anticoagulant drug in recent years. As a direct Xa factor inhibitor, rivaroxaban has shown excellent performance in anticoagulant therapy, with advantages such as fast onset, high safety, low risk of bleeding, and convenient medication, and has been recommended by authoritative first-line guidelines. More and more cardiovascular patients are choosing to use it to protect their health. As a "star" drug in the anticoagulant industry, rivaroxaban plays an indispensable role in protecting cardiovascular health. It can effectively prevent thrombosis, reduce the risk of cardiovascular events, and bring safety and health to many patients.

So, what should I do if I miss taking rivaroxaban? How to do it specifically?

1. Stay calm: First of all, don't worry. Missing medication once does not immediately lead to serious consequences. Keeping a calm mind is essential for us to make the right decisions.

2. Supplement as soon as possible: If it is found that the missed dose is within 12 hours of the next medication, it is recommended to supplement it as soon as possible. This can ensure that the concentration of the drug in the body remains stable and reduce the risk of thrombosis.

3. Do not double the dosage: However, if it is found that the missed dose has exceeded 12 hours, do not take it again. Just follow the original plan and take the medication normally next time. Do not double the dosage to make up for missed doses, as this may increase the risk of bleeding.

4. Keep good records: To avoid missing medication again, it is recommended to keep medication records. You can use methods such as mobile reminders and medication labeling to remind yourself to take your medication on time.

The above is the introduction about "What should I do if I miss taking rivaroxaban". Some missed doses of rivaroxaban have little impact on the treatment effect. However, frequent missed doses may affect the stability of drug concentration in the body, thereby increasing the risk of thrombosis. Therefore, it is recommended to set reminders and develop medication plans to avoid missed doses.
