APIGAT 5 MG – 1 BOTTLE OF 30 TABLETS

APIGAT 5 MG contains Apixaban, a highly effective anticoagulant that works by inhibiting Factor Xa, a key enzyme in the blood clotting process. By blocking this enzyme, APIGAT 5 MG prevents the formation of blood clots, reducing the risk of stroke, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and pulmonary embolism (PE). It is commonly prescribed for patients with atrial fibrillation or other conditions that increase the risk of clot formation. APIGAT 5 MG is well-tolerated and offers a convenient dosing schedule for long-term blood clot management.

Usage Instructions:
Take 1 APIGAT 5 MG tablet orally twice daily, as directed by your healthcare provider.
Swallow the tablet whole with water, with or without food.
Do not adjust the dosage without consulting your healthcare provider. Regular monitoring is required to assess treatment effectiveness.

Medicinal Advantages:
Clot Prevention: Effectively prevents the formation of blood clots in conditions like atrial fibrillation and DVT.
Stroke Risk Reduction: Lowers the risk of stroke and systemic embolism.
Convenient Dosing: Provides a straightforward dosing regimen that supports long-term use.

Mechanism of Action:
APIGAT 5 MG works by inhibiting Factor Xa, an enzyme crucial for blood clotting. By blocking Factor Xa, Apixaban prevents the conversion of prothrombin to thrombin, a key step in the clotting cascade. This reduction in thrombin levels decreases the formation of fibrin, thus preventing clot formation and ensuring smoother blood flow.

Off-Label Uses:
APIGAT 5 MG may be used off-label for managing other thromboembolic disorders, but such uses should be guided by a healthcare provider.
