About Rivastar 15mg Tablet

Rivastar 15mg Tablet belongs to a class of drugs known as anticoagulants or blood thinner. Rivastar 15mg Tablet is primarily used to prevent and treat deep vein thrombosis (blood clots in leg veins) and pulmonary embolism (blood clots in the lung) by reducing blood clot formation.
