Eliquis 2.5MG Tablet (20’s) is a prescription medication primarily used as an anticoagulant to prevent blood clots in patients at risk of thromboembolic events. The active ingredient in Eliquis is apixaban, which belongs to a class of drugs known as direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs). This medication is commonly prescribed for conditions such as atrial fibrillation, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and pulmonary embolism (PE). Eliquis works by inhibiting Factor Xa, an essential component in the blood coagulation process, thereby reducing the ability of the blood to clot. Each tablet contains 2.5 mg of apixaban, and the packaging typically includes 20 tablets. Eliquis is favored for its predictable pharmacokinetics, which allows for fixed dosing without the need for routine monitoring of blood levels, making it a convenient option for patients.
