Rafter Tablet 2.5 mg contains Rivaroxaban, an oral anticoagulant (blood thinner) used to prevent and treat blood clots. It belongs to the class of direct Factor Xa inhibitors and is widely prescribed to reduce the risk of serious conditions such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), and stroke in certain patients. Rafter offers a convenient alternative to traditional anticoagulants with predictable effects and no need for routine coagulation monitoring in most cases.
