November 2014

You'll see more Rxs for the newer anticoagulant blood thinners...Xarelto (rivaroxaban), Pradaxa (dabigatran), and Eliquis (apixaban).

These meds are often used to PREVENT blood clots in patients with rapid heartbeats or "atrial" fibrillation...or after hip or knee replacement surgery.

Xarelto, and now Pradaxa, are approved to TREAT blood clots...and Eliquis is also approved for this use in the U.S.
