Eliquis is a medication primarily used to prevent blood clots and reduce the risk of stroke in people with conditions such as atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat) or following hip or knee replacement surgery.
Its active ingredient is apixaban, which works by inhibiting certain clotting factors in the blood.
Eliquis is known for its effectiveness, convenience (taken orally, typically twice daily), and lower risk of bleeding compared to older anticoagulants like warfarin.
However, as with any medication, it’s essential to follow your doctor’s instructions closely and be aware of potential side effects, such as bleeding.
