Description:
Apixaban (Eliquis) is an oral anticoagulant used to treat deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and prevent its recurrence. It works by blocking factor Xa, a key protein in the clotting process, which helps stop existing clots from growing and lowers the risk of new clots forming. Treatment usually starts with a higher dose for the first week, followed by a lower maintenance dose taken twice daily. Compared to warfarin, apixaban does not require routine blood monitoring and has fewer food and drug interactions. The main risk is bleeding, but it is generally well tolerated and widely used as a first-line option.
