Apixaban (ELIQUIS®) is a highly effective anticoagulant medication that helps prevent the formation of blood clots and reduces the risk of stroke. This medication is commonly prescribed for people with atrial fibrillation, a type of irregular heartbeat that can increase the risk of clot formation, and for patients who need treatment for or prevention of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE).

Unlike older anticoagulants, Apixaban is easier to manage as it does not require frequent blood tests to monitor its effects, making it a preferred choice for many healthcare providers.
