Apixator 5 Tablet contains apixaban (5 mg), which works on your body in the following ways:

• Factor Xa Inhibition: Apixaban selectively inhibits a key enzyme in your blood clotting cascade called factor Xa. This is a crucial step in preventing blood clot formation.

• Thrombin Prevention: By blocking factor Xa, apixaban stops thrombin formation. Thrombin converts fibrinogen into fibrin, a main component of blood clots. This action helps prevent dangerous blood clots in the legs, lungs, brain, and heart.
