Where is xarelto made?

Who makes Xarelto, and where is it manufactured?

Xarelto (rivaroxaban) is made by Janssen Pharmaceuticals Companies and manufactured/packaged through Janssen’s global supply chain, which uses contract manufacturing sites in multiple countries. The exact production and packaging locations can vary by tablet strength and by distribution market.

Does the manufacturing location differ by country or strength?

Yes. For many globally distributed medicines like Xarelto, the “made in” location shown on a bottle or package can differ depending on:
- the specific strength (for example, 10 mg vs 20 mg)
- the batch and distribution country
- the contract manufacturing site used for that batch

The most reliable way to confirm where a particular bottle was made is to check the “Manufactured by” / “Made in” line on the package label.

How can you verify where your specific bottle was made?

Look on the outer carton or bottle label for wording such as “Manufactured by,” “Packaged by,” or “Made in [country].” If you share the exact text from your label (including the manufacturer name and country), I can help interpret it.
