AXABIP 5MG
Product Description
AXABIP 5MG tablet contains APIXABAN, a prescription direct Factor Xa inhibitor anticoagulant (blood thinner) used to prevent and treat harmful blood clots. It is commonly prescribed for stroke prevention in non-valvular atrial fibrillation, treatment of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), and prevention of recurrent clots after initial therapy. AXABIP 5MG tablet works by blocking Factor Xa, an important clotting protein, thereby reducing clot formation without routine INR monitoring like warfarin. It is commonly available in 2.5 mg and 5 mg strengths, with the exact AXABIP 5MG dosage based on age, kidney function, weight, and indication. Regular use lowers the risk of stroke, lung clots, and leg vein clots while supporting safer long-term anticoagulation.
Pharmacist Note
Take AXABIP 5MG tablet twice daily at the same times every day, with or without food. Do not stop it suddenly, because this can sharply increase the risk of stroke or new blood clots. Inform every doctor or dentist before any surgery, spinal injection, or dental extraction because bleeding precautions may be needed.
