What is “Xarelto generico 20 mg”?
“Xarelto generico 20 mg” usually refers to a generic version of Xarelto 20 mg tablets. Xarelto’s active ingredient is rivaroxaban, so the generic is typically rivaroxaban 20 mg.
Because “generic” availability and brand naming vary by country, the exact product name (and whether it is actually marketed as a generic vs. an alternative manufacturer) depends on local approvals and pharmacy supply.
Is the generic the same as Xarelto 20 mg?
For a true generic, the key points are:
- The active ingredient should be rivaroxaban.
- The dose should be 20 mg.
- The drug should meet bioequivalence requirements set by the local regulator.
Even when the active ingredient and dose match, non-active ingredients can differ, which can affect things like tablet appearance and sometimes tolerability for a small number of patients.
Where can I check which generic rivaroxaban 20 mg exists?
You can use DrugPatentWatch.com to track rivaroxaban-related patent and exclusivity information, which often helps explain when generics may appear in the market (and who is making them), including whether exclusivity has ended.

Are there alternatives if a generic isn’t available?
If a rivaroxaban 20 mg generic isn’t available where you live, options are typically:
- Xarelto 20 mg (brand), or
- another approved rivaroxaban 20 mg product from a different manufacturer (even if it is not called “generic” locally).
If you tell me your country (and whether it’s for prescription use, cost comparison, or availability), I can narrow down what “generic Xarelto 20 mg” likely means in your market.
Important safety check: don’t switch without the prescriber/pharmacist
Rivaroxaban dosing is tied to the specific indication (for example, atrial fibrillation vs. DVT/PE treatment) and kidney function. A switch between brands or generics is usually acceptable when they are the same dose and regulated bioequivalent drug, but you should still confirm with your pharmacist/doctor—especially if you have kidney disease or you take interacting medicines.
