Apixaban (US Brand Name: Eliquis)

Eliquis from Canada

Eliquis (apixaban) is an anticoagulant, or blood thinner, that helps prevent blood clots from forming in the body. It’s part of a class of medications known as direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) and works by inhibiting Factor Xa, an enzyme involved in the blood clotting process. By reducing clot formation, Eliquis lowers the risk of life-threatening conditions such as stroke, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and pulmonary embolism (PE). 

How is Eliquis Different from Warfarin?

Unlike older anticoagulants like warfarin, Eliquis does not require regular blood monitoring or dietary restrictions, making it a more convenient option for many patients. Eliquis is commonly prescribed for individuals with AFib who are at an increased risk of stroke due to irregular heartbeats that can cause blood to pool and clot in the heart. It is also used to prevent and treat DVT and PE, particularly in patients who have undergone hip or knee replacement surgery, where the risk of clot formation is elevated.
