Apixaban Tablets

Apixaban

Tablet

Apixaban Tablet contains the active substance apixaban and belongs to a group of medicines called anticoagulants (like warfarin) used to lower the risk of blood clots developing in patients who have a condition called atrial fibrillation (an abnormal heartbeat) as well as other risk factors for stroke. A blood clot that blocks an artery (blood vessel) is called an embolism. If the embolism occurs in the arteries of the brain it can cause a stroke. Anticoagulants slow down the time it takes for your blood to clot and reduce the risk of these events happening.
This medicine helps to prevent blood clots from forming by blocking Factor Xa, which is an important component of blood clotting.
