Eliquis (Apixaban)

Chemical Name: APIXABAN (a-PIX-a-ban)

Eliquis is an anticoagulant used to prevent stroke and blood clots from forming for those with atrial fibrillation. This medication is also used as a treatment for deep vein thrombosis and given to people who have recently undergone hip or knee replacement surgery to prevent clotting in the legs. By reducing the ability of blood from clotting, Eliquis prevents pulmonary embolisms from occurring in the lungs. Eliquis should be taken twice a day as directed by your doctor. Before starting on Eliquis, your doctor should evaluate your medical history to determine if this medication is right for you.

Directions

When taking Eliquis, follow the instructions precisely as directed by your doctor. Administering the wrong dosage can have severe consequences to your health. Dosage is based on your physical traits, existing medical conditions and other drugs you are taking. Use the following guidelines and those indicated on the prescription label:

• If you are unable to swallow the tablet, it can be crushed and mixed into water, apple juice, or applesauce
• Do not stop taking Eliquis without talking to your doctor first
• Take the medicine at the same time each day

Always be aware of your Eliquis supply levels to prevent running out of medication because health conditions may worsen if treatment is stopped abruptly. Set a reminder to refill your medication when using Eliquis. You may take Eliquis with or without food.
