  2. What is Eliquis? Eliquis (generic name: apixaban) is a prescription blood thinner (anticoagulant) that has revolutionized clot prevention. It works by selectively blocking factor Xa, a key protein in blood clot formation, helping prevent dangerous clots that can cause strokes, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and pulmonary embolism (PE). Available as convenient oral tablets in two strengths: Eliquis 2.5 mg and Eliquis 5 mg, making it easy to tailor treatment to individual patient needs.

  3. How Does Eliquis Work? TargetsFactorXa Eliquis inhibits free bound factor Xa, a critical enzyme in the clotting cascade. Reduces Thrombin By blocking factor Xa, it reduces thrombin generation and slows clot formation Maintains Balance Works without affecting other clotting factors, preserving normal hemostasis. Consistent Protection Taken twice daily, with or without food, for steady blood thinning effect. Unlike warfarin, Eliquis does not require frequent blood tests or dietary restrictions, offering patients greater freedom and convenience.

  4. What Is Eliquis Used For? Atrial Fibrillation Deep Vein Thrombosis Prevents stroke in patients with non valvular atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat), reducing risk by up to 70%. Prevents and treats DVT, dangerous blood clots that form in deep veins, typically in the legs. Pulmonary Embolism Treats and prevents PE, a life-threatening condition where clots travel to the lungs. Post-Surgery Protection Used after hip or knee replacement surgery to reduce clot risk during recovery. Eliquis may be continued long-term to prevent recurrent blood clots, providing sustained protection for at-risk patients.
