Rivoroxaban Launch

The time it is taking for newly launched generics to be added to Category M, and
subsequently having their reimbursement price cut is reducing.
Which is why maximising on the profit available on a brand new generic launch is a
great way to improve your practice’s profitability.
At the start of April generic Rivaroxaban 2.5mg Tablets became available and is a
great example of how moving from buying a brand to a generic can benefit you.
The newly launched generic is currently over £5.00 per pack cheaper than the
originator brand.
In addition to the cost saving for your practice, the generic will move your Rivaroxaban
2.5mg purchases from being a loss-making line into a profitable one.
As we do with many other generic launches and off-patents, we have created an
APM+ deal on the PSUK Portal.
If within your practice, you decide you want to make this switch and activate the
APM+ deal, any orders you place for Xarelto 2.5mg Tablets will be substituted with the
generic alternative.
We do need to remind you that as this is a generic product, so the price can change
without prior notice.
