Xarelto will now be used to TREAT deep vein thrombosis (DVT)

Xarelto will now be used to TREAT deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in patients without a symptomatic pulmonary embolism.

Xarelto (rivaroxaban) is the first of the newer oral anticoagulants approved to treat DVT...Pradax (dabigatran) and Eliquis (apixaban) will likely follow.

Xarelto will be an alternative to using warfarin, low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH), or unfractionated heparin for DVT.
