WHAT ELIQUIS IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Eliquis contains the active substance apixaban and belongs to a group
of medicines called
anticoagulants. This medicine helps to prevent blood clots from
forming by blocking Factor Xa, which
is an important component of blood clotting.
Eliquis is used in adults:
-
to prevent blood clots (deep vein thrombosis [DVT]) from forming after
hip or knee
replacement operations. After an operation to the hip or knee you may
be at a higher risk of
developing blood clots in your leg veins. This can cause the legs to
swell, with or without pain.
If a blood clot travels from your leg to your lungs, it can block
blood flow causing
breathlessness, with or without chest pain. This condition (pulmonary
embolism) can be
life-threatening and requires immediate medical attention.
-
to prevent a blood clot from forming in the heart in patients with an
irregular heart beat (atrial
fibrillation) and at least one additional risk factor. Blood clots may
break off and travel to the
brain and lead to a stroke or to other organs and prevent normal blood
flow to that organ (also
known as a systemic embolism). A str
