Product Overview
About Roteas
Roteas is a medicine available as tablets.
What it is used for
Roteas is used to treat clots and reduce the risk of them forming in the arteries and veins and leading to DVT, pulmonary embolism, stroke or other organ damage.
How it is used
Roteas can only be obtained with a prescription. The usual dose is 60 mg once a day but doses may be adjusted for kidney function, low body weight or in those who are also taking certain medicines (known as P-gp inhibitors) that can interfere with the removal of edoxaban from the body. Dose adjustments may also need to be made in patients who are switched between Roteas and other anticoagulant medicines. Treatment is continued while the benefit outweighs the risk of bleeding, which depends on the condition being treated and any existing risk factors.
How it works
The active substance in Roteas, edoxaban, is a ‘factor Xa inhibitor’. This means that it blocks factor Xa, an enzyme that is involved in the production of thrombin. Thrombin is essential for blood clotting. By blocking factor Xa, the medicine reduces the levels of thrombin in the blood.
Active substance: edoxaban
