Eliquis (generic name apixaban) is an oral prescription blood thinner used to prevent and treat dangerous blood clots.
- Atrial Fibrillation: Lowers the risk of stroke in people with an irregular heartbeat not caused by a heart valve problem.
- Blood Clots: Treats and prevents deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in the legs and pulmonary embolism (PE) in the lungs.
- Post-Surgery: Prevents clots after hip or knee replacement surgeries.
- Belongs to a class of drugs called direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs).
- Blocks a clotting protein in the blood called Factor Xa to slow clot formation.
- Does not require routine blood monitoring or specific dietary restrictions like older blood thinners such as warfarin.
- Bleeding: The most serious risk is major or fatal bleeding, as it reduces the blood’s ability to clot. You may bruise more easily.
- Stopping Treatment: Do not stop taking Eliquis without talking to your doctor, as stopping early increases your risk of blood clots or stroke.
