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 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 stroke can be life-threatening and
requires immediate
medical attention.
-
to treat blood clots in the veins of your legs (deep vein thrombosis)
and in the blood vessels of
your lungs (pulmonary embolism), and to prevent blood clots from
re-occurring in the blood
vessels of your legs and/or lungs.
