Renal impairment, including with ESRD on dialysis Deep Vein Thrombosis: No dose adjustment recommended; clinical efficacy and safety studies did not enroll patients with ESRD on dialysis or patients with a CrCl <15 mL/min; dosing recommendations are based on pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic (anti-FXa activity) data in study subjects with ESRD maintained on dialysis Renal impairment (nonvalvular atrial fibrillation) Mild-to-moderate: No dosage adjustment required Serum creatinine ?1.5 mg/dL: Decrease dose to 2.5 mg BID if patient has 1 additional characteristic of age ?80 years or weight ?60 kg ESRD maintained on hemodialysis: 5 mg BID; decrease dose to 2.5 mg BID...
... Show moreContraindication
Hypersensitivity. Clinically significant active bleeding. Hepatic disease associated w/ coagulopathy & clinically relevant bleeding risk. Lesion or condition at significant risk of major bleeding. Concomitant treatment w/ other anticoagulant agent.
Mode of Action
Apixaban is an anticoagulant that inhibits platelet activation and fibrin clot formation via direct, selective and reversible inhibition of free and clot-bound factor Xa in both intrinsic and extrinsic coagulation pathways. Inhibition of coagulation factor Xa prevents conversion of thrombin and subsequent thrombus formation.
Precaution
Increased risk of hemorrhage eg, congenital or acquired bleeding disorders; active ulcerative GI disease; bacterial endocarditis; thrombocytopenia; platelet disorders; history of haemorrhagic stroke; severe uncontrolled HTN; recent brain, spinal or ophthalmological surgery. Discontinue use if severe haemorrhage occurs. Renal impairment (CrCl <15 mL/min). Contraindicated in patients w/ hepatic disease associated w/ coagulopathy & clinically relevant bleeding risk. Not recommended in patients w/ severe hepatic impairment. Patients w/ mild or moderate hepatic impairment (Child Pugh A or B). Low body wt (<60 kg). Patients receiving concomitant systemic treatment w/ strong inhibitors of both CYP3A4 & P-gp eg, azole antimycotics (eg, ketoconazole,...

Epistaxis, haematoma, anaemia, haematuria, contusion, nausea; GI, rectal or gingival haemorrhage.
Potentially Fatal: Epidural or spinal haematoma, fatal bleeding.
Pregnancy Category Note
Pregnancy There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women Treatment is likely to increase the risk of hemorrhage during pregnancy and delivery Use of anticoagulants, during pregnancy, may increase risk of bleeding in fetus and neonate Pregnancy confers an increased risk of thromboembolism that is higher for women with underlying thromboembolic disease and certain high-risk pregnancy conditions Published data describe that women with a previous history of venous thrombosis are at high risk for recurrence during pregnancy Therapy should be administered during pregnancy only if the potential benefit outweighs the potential risk to the mother and fetus Animal...
... Show moreInteraction
Increased exposure w/ strong dual CYP3A4 and P-glycoprotein (P-gp) inhibitors (e.g. clarithromycin, itraconazole, ketoconazole, ritonavir). Increased risk of bleeding w/ drugs affecting haemostasis (e.g. aspirin, heparin, fibrinolytics, SSRIs, NSAIDs, serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors). Increased risk of stroke w/ strong dual CYP3A4 and P-gp inducers (e.g. rifampicin, phenytoin, carbamazepine).
