True / False

Can inhibit both free factor Xa and factor Xa bound to prothrombinase complex Correct

Is an oxazolidinone derivative Incorrect answer selected

Inhibits thrombin Incorrect answer selected

Can only be used as an oral anticoagulant Correct

Can cause platelet inhibition Correct

Explanation

Rivaroxaban is an oral anticoagulant, well absorbed from the gut. It is an oxazolidinone derivative.

It is a highly selective direct factor Xa inhibitor. It can inhibit both free factor Xa and factor Xa bound to prothrombinase complex.

Rivaroxaban does not inhibit thrombin (activated factor II) and no effects on platelets have been demonstrated.
