Mechanism Of Action:
It’s a highly selective and reversible direct inhibitor of free and clot-bound factor Xa, the final enzyme in the coagulation cascade that is responsible for fibrin clot formation. FXa catalyzes the conversion of prothrombin to thrombin.
Indication:
- Prophylaxis of venous thromboembolism following knee or hip replacement surgery
- Treatment of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) & Pulmonary Embolism (PE)
- Prophylaxis of recurrent DVT and PE
- Prophylaxis of stroke and systemic embolism in non-valvular atrial fibrillation and at least one risk factor (such as previous stroke or transient ischemic attack, symptomatic heart failure, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, or age 75 years and over)
