Switch and Management

XARELTO® Dosing: All Indications

*Calculate CrCl based on actual weight.

†Patients with CrCl <30 mL/min were not studied, but administration of XARELTO® is expected to result in serum concentrations of rivaroxaban similar to those in patients with moderate renal impairment (CrCl 30 mL/min to <50 mL/min).

‡The decision regarding initiation setting should be based on the prescriber's clinical judgment.

CrCl = creatinine clearance; DVT = deep vein thrombosis; PE = pulmonary embolism.
