• ELIQUIS 2.5MG TABLET 14'S is a type of medication known as a direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC). This means it's taken by mouth and acts directly on the blood clotting process. Its primary function is to prevent the formation of dangerous blood clots.
• It achieves this by targeting and inhibiting factor Xa, a crucial protein involved in the coagulation cascade. Think of factor Xa as a key player in a series of events that ultimately lead to blood clot formation. ELIQUIS 2.5MG TABLET 14'S specifically binds to the active site of factor Xa, effectively blocking its ability to convert prothrombin into thrombin.
• Thrombin is another essential protein in the clotting cascade; it's responsible for converting fibrinogen into fibrin, which forms the mesh-like structure of a blood clot. By preventing thrombin formation, ELIQUIS 2.5MG TABLET 14'S disrupts the clotting process and reduces the risk of unwanted clot formation. This makes it effective in preventing and treating conditions caused by excessive blood clotting.

• Your doctor will determine the appropriate dosage and duration of ELIQUIS 2.5MG TABLET 14'S treatment based on your specific medical condition. It is crucial to adhere strictly to your doctor's instructions regarding the use of this medication. The typical starting oral dose of apixaban is 2.5 mg taken twice daily.
• For optimal effectiveness, take ELIQUIS 2.5MG TABLET 14'S at the same time each day. You can take it with or without food. Consistency in timing helps maintain a stable level of the medication in your body.
• Swallow the tablet whole with a sufficient amount of water. Avoid chewing, crushing, or breaking the tablet, as this could affect how the medication is absorbed into your system.
• If you happen to miss a dose of ELIQUIS 2.5MG TABLET 14'S, do not double your next dose to compensate. Instead, simply take your next scheduled dose at the regular time. Taking more than the prescribed amount can increase the risk of side effects. If you have concerns about a missed dose, consult your doctor or pharmacist for guidance.
