Apixaban 5 mg

Apixaban 5 mg is an anticoagulant (blood thinner) used to prevent blood clots, stroke, and deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in people with conditions like atrial fibrillation (AFib) and post-surgery recovery. It works by stopping blood clots from forming, reducing the risk of heart attacks and strokes. This medication should be taken as prescribed, usually twice a day, with or without food. Do not stop taking Apixaban suddenly, as it can increase the risk of blood clotting. Side effects may include bleeding, nausea, and dizziness. Avoid alcohol and certain painkillers like NSAIDs while using this medication.
