Mechanism of action

Rivaroxaban is a Factor Xa inhibitor that blocks the coagulation cascade, while ticagrelor is a P2Y12 platelet receptor antagonist that inhibits platelet aggregation. Combined, they provide complementary antithrombotic effects through different pathways—one targeting the coagulation cascade and the other targeting platelet function—to reduce clot formation in high-risk cardiovascular conditions.
