EINSTEIN DVT/PE % INDICATIONS is indicated for the treatment of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). is indicated for the treatment of pulmonary embolism (PE). is indicated for the reduction in the risk of recurrence of DVT and of PE following initial 6 months treatment for DVT and/or PE. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION WARNING: (A) PREMATURE DISCONTINUATION OF INCREASES THE RISK OF THROMBOTIC EVENTS, (B) SPINAL/ EPIDURAL HEMATOMA A. PREMATURE DISCONTINUATION OF INCREASES THE RISK OF THROMBOTIC EVENTS Premature discontinuation of any oral anticoagulant, including, increases the risk of thrombotic events. If anticoagulation with is discontinued for a reason other than pathological bleeding or completion of a course of therapy, consider coverage with another anticoagulant. B. SPINAL/EPIDURAL HEMATOMA Epidural or spinal hematomas have occurred in patients treated with who are receiving neuraxial anesthesia or undergoing spinal puncture. These hematomas may result in long-term or permanent paralysis. Consider these risks when scheduling patients for spinal procedures. Factors that can increase the risk of developing epidural or spinal hematomas in these patients include: Use of indwelling epidural catheters Concomitant use of other drugs that affect hemostasis, such as non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), platelet inhibitors, other anticoagulants, see Drug Interactions A history of traumatic or repeated epidural or spinal punctures A history of spinal deformity or spinal surgery Optimal timing between the administration of and neuraxial procedures is not known Monitor patients frequently for signs and symptoms of neurological impairment. If neurological compromise is noted, urgent treatment is necessary. Consider the benefits and risks before neuraxial intervention in patients anticoagulated or to be anticoagulated for thromboprophylaxis.

Promptly evaluate any signs or symptoms of blood loss and consider the need for blood replacement. Discontinue in patients with active pathological hemorrhage. A specific antidote for rivaroxaban is not available. Because of high plasma protein binding, rivaroxaban is not expected to be dialyzable. Concomitant use of other drugs affecting hemostasis increases the risk of bleeding. These include aspirin, P2Y 12 platelet inhibitors, other antithrombotic agents, fibrinolytic therapy, and NSAIDs. INR = international normalized ratio. * Bleeding event occurred after randomization and up to 2 days after the last dose of study drug. Although a patient may have had 2 or more events, the patient is counted only once in a category. Treatment schedule in EINSTEIN DVT and EINSTEIN PE studies: 15 mg twice daily for 3 weeks followed by 20 mg once daily; / warfarin (: 1 mg/kg twice daily, warfarin: individually titrated doses to achieve a target INR of 2.5 [range: 2.0-3.0]). Major bleeding was defi ned as overt bleeding associated with a fall in hemoglobin of 2 g/dl or more, leading to a transfusion of 2 or more units of packed red blood cells or whole blood, or that occurred in a critical site (intracranial, intraspinal, intraocular, pericardial, intra-articular, intramuscular with compartment syndrome, retroperitoneal), or contributing to death. 4 P=0.002. Not adjusted for multiplicity. II Fragility was defined as one or more of the following: age >75 years, CrCl <50 ml/min, or body weight 50 kg. For major bleeding, the P value for the treatment group fragility interaction was 0.011, suggesting heterogeneity. # Clinically relevant nonmajor bleeding was defi ned as overt bleeding not meeting the criteria for a major bleeding event but associated with medical intervention, unscheduled contact (visit or telephone call) with a physician, (temporary) cessation of study treatment, discomfort for the subject such as pain, or impairment of activities of daily life. 4 Arrows indicate statistical difference between and standard of care. 4 5

To reduce the potential risk of bleeding associated with the concurrent use of rivaroxaban and epidural or spinal anesthesia/analgesia or spinal puncture, consider the pharmacokinetic profile of rivaroxaban. Placement or removal of an epidural catheter or lumbar puncture is best performed when the anticoagulant effect of rivaroxaban is low; however, the exact timing to reach a sufficiently low anticoagulant effect in each patient is not known. An epidural catheter should not be removed earlier than 18 hours after the last administration of. The next dose is not to be administered earlier than 6 hours after the removal of the catheter. If traumatic puncture occurs, the administration of is to be delayed for 24 hours. Should the physician decide to administer anticoagulation in the context of epidural or spinal anesthesia/analgesia or lumbar puncture, monitor frequently to detect any signs or symptoms of neurological impairment, such as midline back pain, sensory and motor deficits (numbness, tingling, or weakness in lower limbs), or bowel and/ or bladder dysfunction. Instruct patients to immediately report if they experience any of the above signs or symptoms. If signs or symptoms of spinal hematoma are suspected, initiate urgent diagnosis and treatment including consideration for spinal cord decompression even though such treatment may not prevent or reverse neurological sequelae. 6 7

Discontinue in patients who develop acute renal failure while on. Treatment of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT), Pulmonary Embolism (PE), and Reduction in the Risk of Recurrence of DVT and of PE: Avoid the use of in patients with CrCl <30 ml/min due to an expected increase in rivaroxaban exposure and pharmacodynamic effects in this patient population. Prophylaxis of Deep Vein Thrombosis Following Hip or Knee Replacement Surgery: Avoid the use of in patients with CrCl <30 ml/min due to an expected increase in rivaroxaban exposure and pharmacodynamic effects in this patient population. Observe closely and promptly evaluate any signs or symptoms of blood loss in patients with CrCl 30 to 50 ml/min. Patients who develop acute renal failure while on should discontinue the treatment. Use in Patients With Hepatic Impairment: No clinical data are available for patients with severe hepatic impairment. Avoid use of in patients with moderate (Child-Pugh B) and severe (Child-Pugh C) hepatic impairment or with any hepatic disease associated with coagulopathy, since drug exposure and bleeding risk may be increased. Use With P-gp and Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitors or Inducers: Avoid concomitant use of with combined P-gp and strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (eg, ketoconazole, itraconazole, lopinavir/ritonavir, ritonavir, indinavir/ritonavir, and conivaptan). Avoid concomitant use of with drugs that are P-gp and strong CYP3A4 inducers (eg, carbamazepine, phenytoin, rifampin, St. John s wort). 8 9
