Eliquis

Eliquis (apixaban) is a medication that helps prevent blood clots by inhibiting a protein called Factor Xa, which is essential for blood clot formation. It is commonly prescribed for conditions like atrial fibrillation, deep vein thrombosis, or pulmonary embolism to reduce the risk of stroke or clot-related complications. Eliquis works by thinning the blood, making it less likely for clots to form, which helps prevent serious events like strokes. It is usually taken orally and requires medical supervision to manage bleeding risks and ensure proper use.
