Apigat 2.5 Tablet is an anticoagulant medicine used to prevent stroke and blood clots in adults with an irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation) or those recovering from hip or knee replacement surgery. It is also used to treat and prevent deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE).
It contains apixaban, a factor Xa inhibitor. It works by blocking a key blood clotting protein, preventing blood clots from forming or expanding. Swallow the tablet whole with water, with or without food, as prescribed. Take it at the same times every day and do not skip doses or stop suddenly, as this increases the risk of blood clots.
To support safe treatment, take care to prevent physical injuries and cuts while on blood thinners. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and a soft razor, and follow all routine blood check and medical follow-up schedules advised by your doctor.
Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor if you have active bleeding, kidney or liver disease, a history of stomach ulcers, or are planning any surgery or dental work. Inform all healthcare professionals that you are taking an anticoagulant. Contact your doctor immediately if you experience severe bleeding, unusual bruising, blood in the urine, or coughing up blood.
