How does Eliquis work?

Eliquis is one of the direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) drugs that work as blood thinners. The main ingredient apixaban works as an anticoagulant to block the action of specific clotting proteins in the blood.The DOAC class of drugs offer significant benefits due to the speed of the desired onset of anticoagulation, making them more effective than warfarin for preventing strokes and blood clots, at a lower risk of bleeding in the brain.

How do I take Eliquis?

Eliquis should be taken strictly as prescribed. Generally, it is prescribed to be taken twice each day, each dose separated by approximately twelve hours. Mornings and nights are standard dosing practice. Eliquis can be taken by mouth with or without food. The tablet can be crushed and mixed with water, apple juice, or applesauce.

What should I do if I miss a dose of Eliquis?

If one dose is missed, it should be taken as soon as possible - as long as there are more than six hours before the next scheduled dose. If it is less than six hours until the next dose, the manufacturer’s recommendation (found in the package insert) is to skip the missed dose and taking the next dose at the scheduled time.

Can I take Eliquis if I have a bleeding disorder?

Eliquis is a blood thinner and can seriously affect people with bleeding disorders. The prescribing doctor needs to be fully aware of the complete medical history when Eliquis is prescribed and will have decided that the specific benefits of Eliquis outweigh all of its risks for this patient.

Can I take Eliquis if I am pregnant or breastfeeding?

Pregnant or breastfeeding women should not take Direct-Acting Oral Anticoagulants (DOACs). The manufacturers recommend that if a pregnancy is expected or planned, or a woman becomes pregnant while taking Eliquis they should inform their healthcare provider.

Caution

Patients may have a higher risk of bleeding if Eliquis is taken alongside other medicines that also have anticoagulant effects, such as aspirin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), warfarin (Coumadin), heparin, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) or serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs). Talk to a doctor or pharmacist before taking any additional unprescribed drugs.

Dosage

The dose and regimen will be set by the doctor. The recommended initial dose of apixaban for the treatment of acute DVT and treatment of PE is 10 mg taken orally twice daily, followed by 5 mg taken orally twice daily. The recommended dose of apixaban for the prevention of recurrent DVT and PE is 2.5 mg, taken orally twice daily.

The dose of Eliquis should be swallowed with water, with or without food. For patients who are unable to swallow whole tablets, Eliquis tablets may be crushed and suspended in water.

If a scheduled dose is missed, take Eliquis immediately and then continue with a twice-daily dosage as before, but do not double-dose to make up for the missed dose.
