Apixapil 2.5 Tablet 10

Apixapil 2.5 Tablet 10 is used to treat and prevent blood clots. It is commonly prescribed to reduce the risk of stroke in people with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat). It is also used to treat deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), and to prevent these conditions after hip or knee replacement surgery, helping lower the chances of future clot-related complications.

Apixapil 2.5 Tablet 10 is taken orally.

Apixapil 2.5 Tablet 10 contains Apixaban (2.5 mg), which acts on the body in the following ways:

• Inhibits factor Xa: Apixaban works by selectively blocking an enzyme called Factor Xa in your body. This enzyme plays a key role in forming blood clots.

• Prevents fibrin formation: By blocking Factor Xa, apixaban effectively prevents the conversion of fibrinogen (a protein available in your blood) into fibrin, another protein that's integral for blood clot formation.

• Maintains essential clotting: Despite this anticoagulant activity, apixaban still allows your body to form clots necessary to stop bleeding from injuries. This is particularly important as it ensures that while harmful clots are prevented, essential clotting is maintained.

• Keep Apixapil 2.5 Tablet 10 in its original packaging to protect it from light and moisture.

• Ensure the storage area is dry and not exposed to high heat.

• After hip or knee replacement surgery, regular gentle exercises under your doctor's guidance can aid recovery and decrease the risk of deep vein thrombosis. Always consult your doctor before starting any new exercise routine.
