Apixaban (5mg)

Overview Apxaban 5 Tablet

Eliquis 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 individuals with atrial fibrillation to prevent clots, it also mitigates clotting risk post-elective knee or hip replacement. Administration is independent of food, ideally at the same time daily. Long-term use, potentially lifelong, may be necessary; never discontinue or adjust dosage without physician consultation, as this significantly elevates heart attack, stroke, or thrombosis risk. Lifestyle modifications—such as smoking cessation, healthy eating, regular exercise, and weight management—further reduce clotting risk. Increased bleeding tendency (nosebleeds, bruising) is a common side effect; report any symptom to your doctor promptly. Additional potential side effects encompass hematoma, anemia, and nausea. Contraindications include severe liver or kidney disease, active bleeding, concurrent use of other anticoagulants, and breastfeeding. Unlike some anticoagulants, routine PT-INR monitoring isn't mandated.
