Pharmacokinetics

AbsorptionRivaroxaban is rapidly absorbed after oral administration with high oral bioavailability.
DistributionWidely distributed in tissues; volume of distribution approximately 50 L.
Protein BindingApproximately 92-95% bound to plasma proteins, primarily albumin.
MetabolismMetabolized via CYP3A4, CYP2J2, and CYP-independent mechanisms; also hydrolyzed by amidases.
Half-Life5-9 hours in young adults; 11-13 hours in elderly.
ExcretionTwo-thirds metabolized and excreted equally via renal and fecal routes; one-third excreted unchanged in urine.
Bioavailability80-100% for 2.5 mg dose; dose-dependent.
Onset of ActionRapid; within 2-4 hours.
Peak Plasma Time2-4 hours after oral administration.
Duration of ActionApproximately 24 hours due to once-daily dosing.

How It Works

Direct factor Xa inhibitor; inhibits both free and clot-bound factor Xa, reducing thrombin generation.

Mechanism Steps

1Rivaroxaban binds directly to the active site of factor Xa (both free and clot-bound).
2Inhibition of factor Xa prevents conversion of prothrombin to thrombin.
3Reduced thrombin generation decreases fibrin formation and platelet activation.
