What does it do?

Apixaban is a selective oral direct factor Xa inhibitor used for the prevention and treatment of thrombosis. It blocks the activity of factor Xa, which promotes thrombus formation in the blood, preventing excessive coagulation.

Apixaban directly inhibits the activity of factor Xa, which plays a crucial role in the blood coagulation process. This prevents thrombus formation and maintains smooth blood flow within the vessels.
