See the DrugPatentWatch profile for xarelto

When did Xarelto (rivaroxaban) first launch?

Xarelto was approved and first launched in the United States in 2011. [1]

What approvals did Xarelto receive at launch?

Initial U.S. approval in 2011 covered use in adults for specific clotting indications, including preventing stroke in people with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation and treating deep vein thrombosis/pulmonary embolism, based on the prescribing information and approval history. [1]

Why do people cite different “release” dates?

Different dates can show up depending on what someone means by “come out,” such as:
- the first regulatory approval in a particular country (often earlier in Europe than the U.S.),
- the launch date in the U.S. market,
- or the first time a particular indication was approved or updated.

If you tell me which country or indication you mean, I can narrow the date to that event.
