Is Xarelto 20mg Safe Dosage For Deep Vein Thrombosis?

I have been prescribed Xarelto 20 mg twice daily to treat a DVT. The DVT developed after a knee replacement surgery on Sept 29, 2014. I can find no other instances of this high a dosage for this type of blood thinning agent. What do you think about this dosage?
