Indications:
Eliquis contains the active substance apixaban and belongs to a group of medicines called anticoagulants. This medicine works by preventing blood clots by blocking Factor Xa, which is an important component in blood clotting.
Eliquis is used in adults:
- to prevent blood clots (deep vein thrombosis [DVT]) after hip or knee replacement surgery. After hip or knee surgery you may be at higher risk of blood clots in the veins of your legs. This can cause swelling in your legs, with or without pain. If a blood clot breaks loose and travels from your legs to your lungs, it can block blood flow, causing shortness of breath, with or without chest pain. This condition (pulmonary embolism) can be life-threatening and requires immediate medical attention.
- to prevent blood clots from forming in the heart in patients with an irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation) and at least one additional risk factor. Blood clots can break off and travel to the brain, causing a stroke, or to other organs, blocking the normal flow of blood to that organ (also known as systemic embolism). A stroke can be life-threatening and requires immediate medical attention.
- to treat blood clots that have formed in the veins of your legs (deep vein thrombosis) and blood vessels in your lungs (pulmonary embolism) and to prevent blood clots from forming again in the blood vessels of your legs and/or lungs.
