Description
Apixa Q 5mg Tablets are a critical anticoagulant medication used to prevent and treat various life-threatening clotting conditions. Each tablet contains 5mg of Apixaban, a direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) that specifically inhibits Factor Xa, a key component in the blood clotting cascade. This action helps to reduce the blood’s ability to form harmful clots. Apixa Q 5mg is primarily prescribed for:
- Prevention of stroke and systemic embolism in adults with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF).
- Treatment of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE).
- Prevention of recurrent DVT and PE after initial treatment.
By preventing the formation of dangerous blood clots, Apixa Q significantly reduces the risk of serious cardiovascular events. It offers a convenient oral dosing regimen, typically taken twice daily, as an alternative to older anticoagulants. Due to its potent effects on blood clotting, Apixa Q is a prescription-only medicine and requires careful monitoring by a healthcare professional.
