Eliquis
Eliquis, with the active ingredient Apixaban, is an anticoagulant medication primarily used to prevent blood clots in patients with atrial fibrillation, deep vein thrombosis, or pulmonary embolism. This medication works by inhibiting Factor Xa, a key protein in the blood coagulation process. Available in tablet form, Eliquis offers convenient dosing for effective blood clot management. It is often prescribed for patients undergoing certain types of surgeries to reduce the risk of clot formation. Eliquis is known for its predictable effects and does not typically require routine monitoring of blood levels. However, consistent use as prescribed is crucial for optimal efficacy.Active substance:
