Used as an anticoagulant to prevent and treat blood clots. Commonly prescribed to reduce the risk of stroke in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation. Also used for the prevention of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), especially after hip or knee replacement surgery. Treats existing DVT and PE and helps prevent recurrence. Works by inhibiting Factor Xa, a key component in the blood clotting process. Taken orally, it offers predictable dosing without routine blood monitoring.
