Apivas 2.5 Tablet

Product Introduction
Apivas 2.5 Tablet is a type of medicine known as an anticoagulant, often referred to as a blood thinner. It works by preventing the formation of blood clots and is used to both treat and prevent clots in different parts of the body, such as the legs, lungs, brain, and heart. By reducing clot formation, this medicine lowers the risk of serious conditions like stroke and heart attack.

It is commonly prescribed to individuals with an irregular heartbeat, also known as atrial fibrillation, to help prevent stroke. Apivas 2.5 Tablet is also used after knee or hip replacement surgery to prevent blood clots. It can be taken with or without food, ideally at the same time each day for the best effect. In many cases, treatment may continue for a long time, sometimes even for life.

Do not stop using this medicine or change your dosage without your doctor’s advice, as doing so could increase your risk of serious complications like heart attack, stroke, or thrombosis. You can further lower your risk of clot formation by making lifestyle changes such as quitting smoking, eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly, and maintaining a healthy weight.

The most common side effect of Apivas 2.5 Tablet is an increased tendency to bleed, which can show up as easy bruising or nosebleeds. If you notice unusual or severe bleeding, contact your doctor right away. Other possible side effects include nausea, anemia, and the development of hematomas.

This medicine is not recommended for people with severe kidney or liver problems, active bleeding, or those already taking other strong blood-thinning medicines. Breastfeeding mothers should avoid using this medicine. Unlike some other anticoagulants, regular blood monitoring with PT-INR tests is not usually required.
