Instructions for use

To know how to prepare and take or administer the oral suspension of Xarelto:

• Consult the Instructions for use leaflet included in the box and
• Watch the educational video that you can access through the QR code that appears on the patient information card provided with this medication.

How to take or administer

Take or administer Xarelto oral suspension with food (breast milk or formula) or with a meal. Each dose of Xarelto must be swallowed with a normal amount of liquid (for example, 20ml in children from 6months to 240ml in adolescents). This normal amount may include a usual amount of feeding liquid (for example, breast milk, infant formula, nutritional drink).

Your doctor may also administer the oral suspension through a tube inserted into the stomach.

How much to take or administer

The dose of Xarelto depends on the patient's body weight. The doctor will calculate it as an amount (volume) in milliliters (ml) of the oral suspension. This must be measured using the blue syringe (either the 1ml or 5ml or 10ml syringe, see table1) provided with this medication. Your doctor will prescribe the necessary volume including the specific syringe to use.

Your doctor will tell you how much of the oral suspension to take or administer.

Below is the table that your doctor will use.Do not adjust the dose on your own.

All materials for preparing and administering the oral suspension are provided with the medication (except for tap water). Use only still water to avoid bubbles.Use only the syringe providedto administer Xarelto to ensure exact dosing. Do not use any other method to administer the solution, such as an alternative syringe, spoon, etc.

Since the dose of Xarelto is based on body weight, it is essential to attend scheduled visits with the doctor, as the dose may need to be adjusted as the weight changes, especially in children under 12kg. This ensures that the child receives the correct dose of Xarelto.

Table1: Recommended dose of Xarelto in children

Your doctor may also prescribe tablets if you or the child are able to swallow the tablet and weigh at least 30kg.

When to take or administer Xarelto

Take or administer the oral suspension as instructed every day until your doctor tells you to stop.

Take or administer the oral suspension at the same time every day to help you remember. Consider setting an alarm to remind you.

Please observe the child to ensure they take the entire dose.

If your doctor has instructed you to take or administer the Xarelto dose:

-once a day, take it with approximately 24hours of difference

-twice a day, take it with approximately 12hours of difference

-three times a day, take it with approximately 8hours of difference

Your doctor will decide how long you or the child should continue treatment.

If you or the child spits out the dose or vomits

• less than 30minutes after taking Xarelto, take a new dose.
• more than 30minutes after taking Xarelto,do nottake a new dose. Continue taking the next scheduled dose of Xarelto.

Call your doctor if you or the child repeatedly spits out the dose or vomits after taking Xarelto.

If you forgot to take or administer Xarelto

• If you are taking Xarelto once a day, take the missed dose of Xarelto as soon as you remember on the same day. If this is not possible, skip that dose. Then take the next scheduled dose of Xarelto the next day. Do not take more than one dose per day.
• If you are taking Xarelto twice a day:

• morning dose forgotten: take the missed dose as soon as you remember. You can take it with the evening dose.
• evening dose forgotten: you can take the missed dose only in the same evening. Do not take two doses the next morning.

• If you are taking Xarelto three times a day, do not replace the missed dose. Continue with the next scheduled dose (administered every 8hours).

The next day after the missed dose, continue as prescribed by your doctor, one, two, or three times a day.

If you take or administer more Xarelto than you should

Call your doctor immediately if you have taken or administered too much Xarelto oral suspension. Taking too much Xarelto increases the risk of bleeding.

If you interrupt Xarelto treatment

Do not stop Xarelto treatment without consulting your doctor first, as Xarelto treats and prevents serious conditions.

If you have any other questions about using this medication, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
