About Apigat 5 Tablet 30's

Apigat 5 Tablet 30's belongs to a class of drugs called 'anticoagulants' (blood thinners) primarily used to prevent and treat deep vein thrombosis (blood clots in leg veins) and pulmonary embolism (blood clots in the lung). Additionally, Apigat 5 Tablet 30's is used to prevent blood clots in patients with atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat). Deep vein thrombosis is a condition in which blood clots form in deep veins usually in the legs. Pulmonary embolism is a condition in which a blood clot blocks the arteries in the lungs. Atrial fibrillation is a condition that causes irregular, often fast heartbeat.

Apigat 5 Tablet 30's contains Apixaban that works by inhibiting the action of blood clotting factor (X a) which is an important element of blood clotting. Thereby, it prevents the conversion of fibrinogen (soluble protein) to fibrin (insoluble protein) and helps in preventing blood clot formation.

Take Apigat 5 Tablet 30's as prescribed. Your doctor will advise you how often you take Apigat 5 Tablet 30's based on your medical condition.

If you are known to be allergic to Apigat 5 Tablet 30's or any other medicines, please tell your doctor.

If you have a stomach ulcer, recent bleeding in the brain, kidney or liver problems, high blood pressure, or bleeding problems, inform your doctor before taking Apigat 5 Tablet 30's.
