Eliquis 5mg Tablet

Eliquis 5mg Tablet – Anticoagulant for Blood Clot Prevention & Treatment

What is Eliquis 5mg Tablet?

Eliquis 5mg is an anticoagulant (blood thinner) that helps prevent and treat dangerous blood clots in veins and arteries. It is commonly prescribed for:
✔ Atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat) – to reduce stroke risk
✔ Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) & pulmonary embolism (PE) – prevents clots in legs/lungs
✔ Post-surgery (knee/hip replacement) – lowers clot risk after orthopedic procedures

Key Benefits:

• Prevents stroke & heart attack in high-risk patients

• Dissolves existing clots and improves blood flow

• No regular blood tests (PT-INR) required, unlike older blood thinners

How to Take:

• Take with or without food, but at the same time daily for best results.

• Swallow whole—do not crush, chew, or break the tablet.

• Do NOT stop suddenly—this increases stroke/clot risk. Always consult your doctor.

Possible Side Effects:

• Increased bleeding (nosebleeds, bruising, prolonged cuts)

• Anemia, nausea, hematoma (blood under skin)

• Seek immediate medical help if you experience unusual bleeding (e.g., black stools, blood in urine).

Important Safety Information:

⚠ Do NOT take if:

• You have severe kidney/liver disease

• You are actively bleeding or on other blood thinners

• You are pregnant or breastfeeding (consult doctor)

⚠ Use with caution if:

• You drink alcohol (may increase bleeding risk)

• You have mild kidney/liver issues (dose adjustment may be needed)

Lifestyle Tips:

• Avoid smoking & excessive alcohol.

• Maintain a healthy diet & exercise routine.

• Use soft toothbrushes & electric razors to reduce bleeding risk.
