1. What is Apixaban Medical Valley and what is it used for

Apixaban Medical Valley contains the active substance apixaban and belongs to a group of medicines called anticoagulants. This medicine helps prevent the formation of blood clots by blocking factor Xa, which is an important element in the blood clotting process.
Apixaban Medical Valley is used in adults:

  • to prevent the formation of blood clots (deep vein thrombosis) after hip or knee replacement surgery. After hip or knee surgery, the patient may be at increased risk of developing blood clots in the veins of the lower limbs. This can lead to swelling of the legs, which may be accompanied by pain or not. If a blood clot moves from the lower limb to the lungs, it can block blood flow through the lungs, causing shortness of breath with a feeling of chest pain or without. This condition (pulmonary embolism) can be life-threatening and requires immediate medical attention.
  • to prevent the formation of blood clots in the heart in patients with irregular heart rhythm (atrial fibrillation) and at least one additional risk factor. Blood clots can break loose and move to the brain, leading to a stroke, or to other organs, hindering blood flow to these organs (also known as systemic embolism). A stroke can be life-threatening and requires immediate medical attention.
  • to treat blood clots in the veins of the lower limbs (deep vein thrombosis) and in the blood vessels of the lungs (pulmonary embolism), as well as to prevent the recurrence of blood clots in the blood vessels of the lower limbs and/or lungs.

Apixaban Medical Valley is used in children from 28 days of age to less than 18 years of age to treat and prevent the recurrence of blood clots in the veins or in the blood vessels of the lungs.
The recommended dose depends on body weight, see section 3.
