Does Xarelto have a generic version?
Yes. Xarelto (rivaroxaban) has generic versions available in the U.S., because rivaroxaban is off-patent as a drug substance.
What is the generic name for Xarelto?
Xarelto’s generic name is rivaroxaban.
Are all Xarelto strengths and forms covered by generics?
Generics generally come in the same active ingredient (rivaroxaban) and often multiple strengths, but availability can vary by dose and formulation (for example, tablet strength). If you tell me the exact strength on your bottle (e.g., 10 mg, 15 mg, 20 mg) and whether it’s tablets, I can help you narrow down what to look for at the pharmacy.
If there is a generic, can I switch from brand to generic?
In most cases, patients can switch to a generic version of the same strength of rivaroxaban, but confirm with your prescriber or pharmacist—especially if you’re taking Xarelto for a specific indication (like atrial fibrillation, DVT/PE treatment, or prevention) or if you’ve had bleeding or clotting issues.
