Pharmacology
Rivaroxaban is a selective oral Factor Xa (FXa) inhibitor that does not require a cofactor for activity; by inhibiting free FXa and prothrombinase activity, it decreases thrombin generation and indirectly inhibits thrombin-induced platelet aggregation.
Atorvastatin is a selective, competitive inhibitor of HMG-CoA reductase, the rate-limiting enzyme that converts HMG-CoA to mevalonate, a cholesterol precursor; it lowers plasma cholesterol and LDL levels by inhibiting hepatic cholesterol synthesis and increasing hepatic LDL receptor expression.
