Apixaban 2.5 Tabs
₹128.00
Apixaban 2.5mg tablets, commonly known by brand names like Eliquis 2.5mg Tablet, are anticoagulant (blood thinner) medications used to prevent and treat blood clots. They require a doctor’s prescription.
Key Information
- Uses: Apixaban 2.5mg tablets are primarily used to reduce the risk of stroke and systemic embolism in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat). They are also prescribed to treat and prevent deep vein thrombosis (DVT, blood clots in leg veins) and pulmonary embolism (PE, blood clots in the lungs), including after hip or knee replacement surgery.
- Mechanism of Action: Apixaban is a Factor Xa inhibitor, which works by blocking a key protein in the blood clotting process, thereby preventing clots from forming or growing.
- Administration: The tablets are typically taken twice daily, with or without food, at the same time each day. If you have difficulty swallowing, the tablets can be crushed and mixed with water, apple juice, or applesauce and consumed immediately.
- Prescription/Medical Supervision: This medication must be used strictly as directed by a healthcare professional. Do not stop taking it or change the dose without consulting your doctor, as this can increase your risk of stroke or thrombosis.
- Monitoring: Unlike some older anticoagulants like warfarin, regular blood tests (like PT-INR) are not typically required while taking apixaban.
Potential Side Effects
The most common side effect is bleeding more easily than normal. Other potential side effects may include:
- Nausea
- Bruising or swelling
- Anemia (low red blood cell count), which can cause tiredness and paleness
- Nosebleeds and bleeding gums
- Joint pain or back pain
- Headaches and dizziness
Call your doctor immediately if you experience any unusual or severe bleeding, blood in your urine or stools (which may appear red or black and tarry), coughing up blood, or sudden muscle weakness or numbness.
