Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a generic for rivaroxaban (Xarelto)?
Yes — generic rivaroxaban became available in the US in 2024. It is bioequivalent to brand Xarelto and significantly cheaper, typically $120–$160/month.
What is the main advantage of rivaroxaban being once-daily?
Once-daily dosing (for most indications) improves medication adherence compared to twice-daily DOACs like apixaban. However, apixaban has a slightly larger evidence base for lower GI bleeding.
Does rivaroxaban require INR monitoring?
No — like all DOACs, rivaroxaban does not require routine blood monitoring. This is a major advantage over warfarin, which requires regular INR testing and dietary restrictions.
Is apixaban or rivaroxaban better for atrial fibrillation?
Both reduce stroke risk effectively in AF. Meta-analyses suggest apixaban may have a slightly better bleeding safety profile. Both are reasonable choices; your cardiologist decides based on your full medical picture.
