When should Apixaban Tablets Not be taken?
It's important to discuss with your doctor before taking any drug, including Apixaban. There are a few conditions where Apixaban may not be suitable for you. Here are some of them:
Medical conditions:
Active bleeding: Apixaban should not be used if you are experiencing active bleeding in any part of your body.
Severe liver disease: The liver's ability to metabolize Apixaban is significantly impaired, increasing the risk of adverse side effects.
Uncontrolled high blood pressure: If your blood pressure isn't sufficiently controlled, Apixaban could further increase your bleeding risk.
Recent spinal cut or epidural anesthesia: This method conveys a risk of spinal bleeding with blood thinners like Apixaban.
Allergy to Apixaban or comparable medicines: If you have a known allergy to Apixaban or other element Xa inhibitors, it's the opposite.
Medications and supplements:
Strong P-glycoprotein inhibitors or inducers: These meds can affect how your body absorbs and processes Apixaban, possibly leading to higher blood levels than expected.
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs): While generally protected, normal use of NSAIDs like ibuprofen or naproxen can somewhat increase bleeding risk when joined with Apixaban.
Herbal supplements: A few herbs like gingko or St. John's Wort can interact with Apixaban and influence its effectiveness.
