Effective Prevention and Treatment for Blood Clots
Apixaban is a highly effective anticoagulant (blood thinner) used to reduce the risk of stroke and systemic embolism in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation. It is also a primary treatment for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), helping to prevent these conditions from recurring.
Unlike older anticoagulants, Apixaban belongs to a class of medications called Factor Xa inhibitors. It works by blocking a specific clotting protein in your blood, making it easier for your blood to flow and significantly lowering the risk of dangerous clots.
Why Choose Apixaban?
No Routine Blood Testing: Unlike Warfarin, Apixaban typically does not require frequent laboratory monitoring or “INR” checks.
Predictable Results: Offers consistent anticoagulation levels with standard dosing.
Fewer Dietary Restrictions: You can generally enjoy a normal diet without worrying about Vitamin K intake affecting your medication.
Proven Safety Profile: Known for a lower risk of certain types of major bleeding compared to traditional blood thinners.
Common Usage & Dosage
Apixaban is usually taken twice daily, with or without food. Your specific dosage will be determined by your healthcare provider based on your age, weight, kidney function, and the condition being treated.
