Description
ELIQUIS 2.5MG TABS (Apixaban) is a vital prescription medication belonging to a class of drugs known as anticoagulants (blood thinners). This specific 2.5mg dosage is often prescribed for crucial indications such as preventing stroke and systemic embolism in certain patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF), particularly those who are elderly, have low body weight, or impaired kidney function. It is also used to prevent deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) following hip or knee replacement surgery, and for the long-term prevention of recurrent DVT and PE after initial treatment.
Apixaban works by selectively blocking Factor Xa, a key enzyme involved in the blood clotting cascade, thereby reducing the blood’s ability to form harmful clots. This helps protect against life-threatening thrombotic events. Due to the critical nature of its action and the risk of bleeding, ELIQUIS 2.5MG TABS must be taken strictly as prescribed by a healthcare professional and requires careful medical supervision.
