APIQUISS 2.5mg and 5mg (Apixaban Tablets) are prescription medicines used to treat and prevent serious blood clots. Apixaban is a type of oral anticoagulant (blood thinner) that helps reduce the risk of stroke, DVT, and PE by preventing clot formation in the blood vessels.

Apixaban is especially beneficial for patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation, those recovering from hip or knee replacement surgery, or those with a history of venous thromboembolism.

Uses of Apixaban Tablets

• Prevention of stroke and blood clots in patients with atrial fibrillation

• Treatment of deep vein thrombosis (DVT)

• Treatment of pulmonary embolism (PE)

• Prevention of blood clots after orthopedic surgery (hip/knee replacement)

How It Works

Apixaban works by selectively inhibiting Factor Xa, an enzyme responsible for blood clot formation. By blocking this enzyme, it prevents the formation of harmful clots in veins and arteries without the need for routine blood monitoring.
