Edoxaban

Edoxaban is a medication that helps prevent blood clots by blocking a specific protein called Factor Xa, which plays a key role in blood clot formation. It's used to reduce the risk of strokes in people with certain heart conditions, treat blood clots in veins, and prevent recurrence. By inhibiting Factor Xa, edoxaban makes it less likely for clots to form, lowering the risk of complications like stroke or deep vein thrombosis. It is usually taken orally once daily and requires regular medical supervision to monitor its effectiveness and safety.
