Pexapan 5 Mg 60 Tablets for Effective Clot Protection

???? Prescription Only

Pexapan 5 mg is a vital new-generation anticoagulant medication (Apixaban). By precisely targeting clotting proteins, this treatment is formulated to support maintaining blood fluidity and preventing the formation of life-threatening blood clots, making it a crucial choice for cardiovascular patients.

What are the uses of Pexapan 5 Mg?

• Treating Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) in the legs and Pulmonary Embolism (PE) in the lungs.
• Preventing the risk of stroke and systemic embolism in adults with atrial fibrillation disorder.
• Preventing the recurrence of venous clots after completing the initial treatment.

Benefits & Features

• Pack (60 tablets) provides a continuous treatment course for a full month (at two tablets daily).
• Effectively reduces mortality rates associated with heart disease and strokes.
• Does not require frequent routine blood tests (like INR testing) to adjust the dose.
• Less interaction with diet compared to older anticoagulants like Warfarin.

How to Use

• Swallow the tablet whole with water; it can be taken with or without food.
• It is usually taken twice a day, 12 hours apart (as directly prescribed by the doctor).
• For treating an active clot, the doctor may prescribe a double dose (10mg) for the first week, then reduced to 5mg. Adhere to their instructions strictly.

Warnings & Precautions

• Increased bleeding risk: Exercise extreme caution to avoid falls or cuts. Consult your doctor immediately if you experience non-stopping bleeding, blood in urine/stool, or a sudden severe headache.
• Do not stop using Pexapan abruptly without consulting a doctor, as this may significantly increase the risk of a clot.
• You must coordinate with your attending physician before undergoing any surgical procedure or visiting the dentist to temporarily stop the medication.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I take painkillers like Brufen while treated with Pexapan?

This is never recommended. NSAID painkillers like Brufen and Aspirin increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding when combined with blood thinners. Paracetamol is preferred as a safe alternative.

What happens if I forget to take my evening dose?

Take it as soon as you remember, but if you remember it the next morning, skip the missed dose and take the morning dose as usual. Do not take two doses at the same time.

Does the medication cause hair loss?

Hair loss is not a common side effect of Pexapan; if it occurs, it may be due to other factors and seeing a doctor is preferred.

For optimal use, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
