Eliquis 2.5mg Tablet is an oral anticoagulant medication that belongs to the direct oral factor Xa inhibitor class. It is primarily used to prevent and treat blood clots, reducing the risk of stroke, systemic embolism, and deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Apixaban works by inhibiting factor Xa, a key enzyme in the blood clotting cascade, thereby preventing thrombin formation and clot development.

This tablet is often prescribed for:

• Patients with atrial fibrillation not caused by heart valve problems, to reduce stroke risk.

• Individuals at risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE).

• Patients undergoing hip or knee replacement surgery to prevent post-surgical clots.

Apixaban offers the advantage of fixed dosing, oral administration, and no routine monitoring, unlike traditional anticoagulants such as warfarin. It is a clinically proven, safe, and effective therapy for managing thromboembolic disorders.
