Eliquis and Apixaban at CanadaPharmacyOnline.com

Brand Eliquis (apixaban), manufactured by Bristol-Myers Squibb, is available in many countries worldwide, including Canada, Australia, India, and Turkey.

Generic apixaban is sourced from manufacturers that meet applicable regulatory standards for safety, efficacy, and quality. The specific manufacturer of your dispensed medication may vary.

Important Information about Generic Apixaban:

Generic apixaban contains the same active ingredient as brand-name Eliquis and is required to meet the same safety, effectiveness, and quality standards. This means it is designed to work in the same way as Eliquis. Studies have demonstrated similar absorption rates, but individual responses can still vary. If you have any questions about using generic apixaban, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.

For more information about generic drug approval and bioequivalence, you can visit the FDA website: https://www.fda.gov/drugs/buying-using-medicine-safely/generic-drugs

Dosage:

Brand Eliquis and generic apixaban are commonly available in 2.5mg and 5mg oral tablets. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dose based on your individual needs and medical conditions. It is crucial to take Eliquis or generic apixaban exactly as prescribed. Do not change your dosage or stop taking the medication without consulting your doctor.

Usage:

Eliquis (apixaban) is a prescription medication primarily used to prevent stroke and systemic embolism in nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (AFib) (source: product labeling information). It is also approved for the following uses (source: manufacturer’s Important Safety Information):
• Treatment of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE)
• Prevention of DVT and PE in patients undergoing hip or knee replacement surgery
• Reduction of the risk of recurrent DVT and PE following initial treatment

Mechanism of Action:

Apixaban is a non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulant (NOAC), specifically a factor Xa (FXa) inhibitor. It is also commonly referred to as a blood thinner. Apixaban is a drug that inhibits a protein (Factor Xa) in the coagulation cascade. By inhibiting Factor Xa, apixaban reduces thrombin generation, which in turn prevents the formation of blood clots.

Take Eliquis exactly as prescribed by your doctor, following the instructions provided in the package leaflet. Consult your doctor for personalized guidance and safe use.

The information below summarizes some, but not all, potential side effects, risks, and interactions. Before taking Eliquis, it is essential to discuss all potential side effects, risks, and interactions with your doctor or pharmacist.

Side Effects:

Some common side effects may occur – Contact your doctor as soon as possible if you experience any of the following, which may be signs of bleeding or other issues:
• Fatigue, shortness of breath, and weakness: These are signs of bleeding which can be caused by anemia
• Easy bruising
• Minor bleeding
• Nausea

Serious or rare side effects – Stop taking Eliquis and seek immediate medical attention right away if you experience any of the following:
• Severe allergic reactions: Signs include:
o Hives
o Itching
o Swelling of the face, lip, tongue, or throat
o Trouble breathing or wheezing

• Severe bleeding: This is the most significant risk with Eliquis. Signs of include:
o Black or tarry stools

o Coughing up blood
o Heavy menstrual bleeding
o Nosebleeds that are frequent or difficult to stop
o Unusual bruising
o Unusual or heavy bleeding
o Vomiting blood or what looks like coffee grounds

This is a partial list of side effects; individual reactions can vary. It is crucial to discuss potential side effects and risks with your doctor for a complete and up-to-date list.

Contraindications:

This is not an exhaustive list of contraindications. It is crucial to discuss all your medical conditions, past and present, and all medications you are taking with your doctor or pharmacist before starting Eliquis.

Eliquis should not be used if:
• You are allergic to apixaban
• You have active, significant bleeding
• You have an artificial heart valve
• You have severe kidney or liver problems: Less severe kidney problems may require a dosage adjustment, so it is essential to discuss your kidney and liver function with your doctor.

Tell your doctor about all of your medical conditions, past and present, before starting Eliquis. This is crucial because certain conditions can affect whether Eliquis is right for you. These conditions may include, but are not limited to:
• Antiphospholipid syndrome: This autoimmune disorder can affect blood clotting.
• Bleeding disorders: If you have any types of bleeding disorders or a history of unusual or excessive bleeding that affects blood clotting.
• Blood disorders: History of blood disorders, such as anemia, thrombocytopenia, or other conditions affecting blood cell production or function. Be specific about the type of blood disorder if known.
• Impaired kidney or liver function
• Other heart conditions: Such as heart valve problems (including artificial heart valves), heart failure, coronary artery disease, or a history of heart attack.
• Surgery or other procedures: To reduce the risk of bleeding, you may need to stop taking Eliquis temporarily before surgery or certain medical procedures.
• Spinal or epidural anesthesia or spinal puncture (planned or recent): This is extremely important due to the risk of spinal hematoma.
• Stomach ulcers or other gastrointestinal problems: It can increase the risk of bleeding.
• Stroke or TIA (transient ischemic attack)

Spinal or Epidural Hematoma: This is a rare but very serious problem that can happen if you get a spinal or epidural injection or have a spinal tap while taking Eliquis (apixaban). A blood clot can form around your spinal cord, which could cause paralysis or other nerve problems. Taking Eliquis alone does not usually cause this problem. The risk of this complication is increased when Eliquis is taken in combination with a spinal procedure.

It's very important to tell your doctor before any of these procedures that you are taking Eliquis. Symptoms can be found in Eliquis prescribing information, include:
o Backpain
o Muscle weakness
o Numbness
o Loss of bladder or bowel control

Drug Interactions:

Before taking Eliquis, it is essential to discuss all potential risks and interactions with your doctor or pharmacist. It is crucial to tell your doctor or pharmacist about all medications you are taking, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, vitamins, and herbal supplements. Many medications can interact with Eliquis, increasing your risk of serious side effects, such as bleeding, or making Eliquis less effective. For complete and up-to-date information about potential drug interactions, consult the official Eliquis prescribing information (package insert): https://packageinserts.bms.com/pi/pi_eliquis.pdf. Discuss any concerns you have with your healthcare provider.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding:

If you are pregnant, become pregnant, are breastfeeding, or plan to breastfeed, it is crucial to discuss the risks and benefits of using Eliquis with your doctor before taking it. Eliquis should not be used during pregnancy unless your doctor determines that the benefits clearly outweigh the potential risks to the unborn baby. The risks to a breastfeeding infant are unknown, so it is also essential to consult your doctor before breastfeeding while taking Eliquis

Frequently Asked Questions about Eliquis at Canada Pharmacy Online:

Why is Eliquis more affordable in Canada than in the United States?

Prescription drug prices, including Eliquis, are generally lower in Canada than in the US due to a combination of factors, primarily government price regulations, differing market dynamics, and other economic considerations.
