Eliquis Apixaban

When there is an increased risk of blood clot formation linked to heart or circulatory conditions, Eliquis tablets may be prescribed. This anticoagulant medicine is widely used in atrial fibrillation, deep vein thrombosis, and pulmonary embolism, where effective anticoagulation therapy is essential.

Eliquis contains apixaban, a modern blood thinner that works by targeting a key clotting factor in the blood. Taken regularly, it protects heart health, supports healthy blood flow, and lowers the risk of stroke and other clot-related complications.

If approved after an online consultation, you can buy Eliquis tablets securely from Pharmacy Planet as part of your long-term cardiovascular treatment plan.

Eliquis tablets are a prescription-only anticoagulant medication used to prevent and treat blood clots.

Each tablet contains apixaban, which belongs to a group of medicines called Factor Xa inhibitors. These medicines reduce the blood's ability to clot, lowering the risk of thromboembolism without the need for regular blood monitoring.

Eliquis tablets are commonly prescribed for stroke prevention in non-valvular atrial fibrillation and for preventing blood clots from forming or returning in the veins and lungs.

Blood clots form through a chain reaction involving clotting proteins. Eliquis blocks one of the most important steps in this process.

1. Blocks Factor Xa

Apixaban stops Factor Xa from working, slowing down the clotting process.

2. Reduces Clot Formation

With clotting reduced, the risk of clots forming in the heart, veins, or lungs is lower.

3. Protects Against Stroke

In atrial fibrillation, Eliquis reduces the chance of clots travelling to the brain and causing a stroke.

This targeted action makes Eliquis a trusted option in modern anticoagulation therapy.

Always take Eliquis tablets exactly as prescribed by your prescriber.

Dosage Guidance:

• For atrial fibrillation and stroke prevention, the usual dose is Eliquis 5 mg twice daily.
• A reduced dose of Eliquis 2.5 mg twice daily may be prescribed if you are over 80, weigh 60 kg or less, or have reduced kidney function.
• For treatment of deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism: 10 mg twice daily for the first 7 days, then 5 mg twice daily for ongoing treatment.
• For long-term prevention after 6 months, 2.5 mg twice daily may be used.

Your prescriber will confirm the correct dose and treatment length during your consultation.

General Instructions for Use:

• Swallow the tablet with water.
• Take Eliquis with or without food.
• Take doses at the same times each day.
• Tablets can be crushed and mixed with water or soft food if swallowing is difficult.
• Do not stop taking Eliquis without medical advice, as this increases clot risk.

Eliquis tablets may be suitable for adults who:

• Have atrial fibrillation with risk factors for stroke.
• Are being treated for deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism.
• Need long-term thromboembolism prevention.
• Require ongoing anticoagulation therapy for heart health.

Eliquis tablets may not be suitable if you:

• Are allergic to apixaban or any tablet ingredients.
• Have active or uncontrolled bleeding.
• Have severe liver disease or liver disease associated with a bleeding risk.
• Have recently had bleeding in the brain.
• Are taking other anticoagulants unless switching treatments under medical supervision.
• Are pregnant or breastfeeding, unless clearly advised by a specialist.

A UK prescriber will review your medical history during your consultation with Pharmacy Planet to confirm suitability.

Like all medicines, Eliquis can cause side effects, although many people take it without problems.

Common Side Effects:

• Bruising more easily
• Nosebleeds or gum bleeding
• Bleeding from the stomach or bowel
• Nausea
• Tiredness linked to anaemia

Serious Side Effects:

• Bleeding that does not stop
• Blood in urine or stools
• Sudden severe headache or weakness
• Allergic reactions, including swelling of the face or throat

Seek urgent medical advice if you notice signs of serious bleeding.

Some medicines can increase bleeding risk or reduce how Eliquis works.

Tell your prescriber if you take:

• Other blood thinners, such as warfarin, rivaroxaban, or dabigatran.
• Anti-inflammatory painkillers.
• Medicines for fungal infections or HIV.
• Certain antidepressants.
• Epilepsy medicines or St John's Wort.

Eliquis tablets are often chosen because they:

• Provide reliable stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation.
• Reduce the risk of blood clots in the veins and lungs.
• Do not require routine blood tests.
• Offer predictable anticoagulation therapy.
• Fit easily into daily cardiovascular care routines.

For many people, Eliquis provides reassurance through consistent clot protection.
