Inclusion Criteria

1. Healthy participants from the Egyptian general population
2. Age 18-60 years
3. Body mass index 18.5 – 24.9 kg/m² for normal-weight participants OR BMI = 35 kg/m² for obese participants

5. The physical examination is assessed and accepted by the attending physician
6. Oral body temperature within the normal range (35.9 – 37.6°C)
7. All laboratory screening results within the normal range for normal-weight volunteers and with some variation from the normal range for the obese participants
8. Normal coagulation tests at baseline of the study, i.e., international normalised ratio (INR) up to 1.1, prothrombin time (PT) 10 – 13 seconds, and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) 30 – 40 seconds

Exclusion Criteria

3. Having any known increased bleeding risk (i.e., haemorrhoids, peptic ulcer, or frequent nasal bleeding)
4. Having any chronic disease/condition (such as diabetes type 2, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and cancer)
5. Known history or presence of food allergies or intolerability (e.g dairy product or gluten-containing food) or any condition is known to interfere with the absorption, distribution, metabolism or excretion of drugs
6. Vegetarian
7. Exhausting physical exercise in the last 24 hours (e.g. weight lifting).
8. History of serious illness that can impact the fate of drugs or clinically significant illness 3 weeks before the study
9. Obvious signs of serious renal, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, hepatic, neurological, musculoskeletal, endocrine disorders as evidenced by physical
examination, and/or clinical laboratory tests

12. Regular use of medication
13. Use of any known enzyme inducers or inhibitors (e.g. barbiturates, rivaroxaban, phenytoin, rifampin) within 30 days prior to study entry.
14. Use of any prescription or non-prescription (OTC) medication within 3 weeks prior to the study
15. Donation of at least 400 ml of blood within 60 days, or more than 150 ml of blood within 30 days, or more than 100 ml blood plasma or platelets within 14 days before the study

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<br> 1. Rivaroxaban concentration in blood samples is measured using ultra-performance liquid chromatography - tandem mass spectrometer (UPLC MS/MS) at baseline, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 18, 36 and 48 hours<br> 2. Rivaroxaban concentration in urine samples is measured using ultra-performance liquid chromatography - tandem mass spectrometer (UPLC MS/MS) at (-2 to 0), (0 to 3), (3 to 6), (6 to 9), (9 to 12), (12 to 15), (15 to 18), at 36, and at 48 hours<br> 3. Area under the concentration-time curve (AUC), time for maximum concentration (Tmax), volume of distribution (Vd), clearance (Cl), and half-life (t1/2) are obtained using WinNonlin software (pharmacokinetic software) at baseline, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 18, 36 and 48 hours<br>
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<br> 1. Prothrombin time (PT) is measured using the standard quantitative method used in the medical laboratories at 0, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 18, 36, and 48 hours<br> 2. Activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) is measured using the standard quantitative method used in the medical care laboratories at 0, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 18, 36, and 48 hours<br>
