Will Eliquis protect against new blood clots?
Hello. I have been taking Eliquis for 6 months, I have deep and superficial vein thrombosis in my left hand. Recently, I did a blood test and they came out normal. My question is, can taking this drug form new clots? If so, how should you react?

Eliquis is indicated for the prevention of venous thromboembolism (VTE) episodes in adult patients after
elective hip or knee replacement surgery, as well as prevention of stroke and systemic embolism in adult patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation.
Eliquis is a prescription drug, so you are definitely under the care of a specialist. After the tests have been performed, please consult the results with him.
Due to the increased risk of bleeding, concomitant treatment with any other anticoagulant including Eliquis is contraindicated.
If you experience any worrying symptoms, you should see a doctor as soon as possible.
The mechanism of action of the active ingredient of the drug, apixaban, is to inhibit factor Xa. Apixaban prevents the production of thrombin and the formation of a blood clot. Preclinical studies of apixaban in animal models have demonstrated anticoagulant activity in the prevention of arterial and venous thrombosis at doses that led to the preservation of haemostasis.
To sum up, it is an effective drug, but it is worth taking care of anticoagulant prophylaxis and talking to your doctor about it. Adequate physical activity (swimming, cycling, Nordic walking) or maintaining a healthy body weight can minimize the risk of blood clots. Also, keep your body hydrated and avoid sitting for long periods of time.
