LAVIXABAN is indicated to reduce the risk of stroke and systemic embolism in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation.

Prophylaxis of deep vein thrombosis hip or knee replacement surgery.

LAVIXABAN 5 is an anticoagulant medication that contains 5 mg of apixaban, designed to help prevent stroke and blood clots in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation.

It also treats and prevents deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). Apixaban works by selectively inhibiting Factor Xa, a crucial component in the blood clotting process.

The tablets are convenient to take, usually prescribed twice daily, with or without food. This formulation offers effective anticoagulation without the need for regular blood monitoring

SIDE EFFECT

•    Increased risk of Thrombotic events after premature discontinuation

•    Bleeding

•   Spinal/Epidural Anesthesia or Puncture





PRECAUTION

Premature discontinuation of any oral anticoagulant, including LAVIXABAN, in the absence of    

        adequate alternative anticoagulation increases the risk of thrombotic events. An increased rate

        of stroke was observed during the transition from LAVIXABAN to warfarin in clinical trials in atrial

        fibrillation patients. If LAVIXABAN is discontinued for a reason other than pathological bleeding

        or completion of a course of therapy, consider coverage with another anticoagulant.

 

Concomitant use of drugs affecting hemostasis increases the risk of bleeding. These include

aspirin and other antiplatelet agents, other anticoagulants, heparin, thrombolytic agents, selective

serotonin reuptake inhibitors, serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors, and nonsteroidal anti-

inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)

Advise patients of signs and symptoms of blood loss and to report them immediately or go to an

emergency room. Discontinue LAVIXABAN in patients with active pathological hemorrhage.

 

       Direct-acting oral anticoagulants (DOACs), including LAVIXABAN, are not recommended for use 

       in patients with triple-positive antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). For patients with APS (especially

       those who are triple positive [positive for lupus anticoagulant, anticardiolipin, and anti–beta 2-

       glycoprotein I antibodies]), treatment with DOACs has been associated with increased rates of

       recurrent thrombotic events compared with vitamin K antagonist therapy.
