Overview Apigat 5 Tablet

ThromboGuard 5mg tablets function as an anticoagulant, preventing and treating blood clots. This medication inhibits clot formation in leg, lung, brain, and heart veins, thereby lowering stroke and heart attack risk. Frequently prescribed for patients with atrial fibrillation to prevent thrombosis, it also mitigates clot risk post-elective hip or knee replacement. Administered with or without food, consistent daily timing is recommended. Long-term, even lifelong, use may be necessary; discontinuation or dosage alteration requires physician approval to avoid increased heart attack, stroke, or thrombosis risk. Lifestyle modifications such as dietary improvements, regular physical activity, smoking cessation, and weight management further reduce clotting risk. Increased bleeding (nosebleeds, bruising) is a common side effect; report any adverse reactions promptly. Additional potential side effects include hematoma, anemia, and nausea. Contraindicated in patients with severe hepatic or renal impairment, active bleeding, or concurrent use of other anticoagulants. Breastfeeding is not advised during treatment. Unlike some anticoagulants, routine PT-INR monitoring is unnecessary.
