Overview

Eliquis 5mg Tablet is a prescription-only medicine (POM) that contains Apixaban 5mg. It is supplied as a tablet and is dispensed in Malaysia only against a valid prescription issued by a registered doctor.

Under Malaysian rules for prescription medicines, this page carries product, safety and handling information only. Your doctor or pharmacist will explain whether this medicine is suitable for you, the dose you should take, and how long you should take it.

On DoctorOnCall, Eliquis 5mg Tablet is reviewed by a licensed doctor through an online consultation and dispensed by a registered pharmacist before delivery. Always follow the instructions on your prescription label and the package insert supplied with the product, and do not share this medicine with anyone else.

Directions for Use

Take Eliquis 5mg Tablet at the same times each day, approximately 12 hours apart, with or without food. Swallow the tablet with water; do not skip doses, as missed doses increase your risk of stroke or clotting. If you have a procedure or dental surgery planned, inform your doctor or dentist that you are taking apixaban well in advance, as it may need to be temporarily stopped under medical supervision.

Dosage

The usual dose of Eliquis 5mg Tablet for atrial fibrillation is 5mg twice daily, though your doctor may prescribe a reduced dose of 2.5mg twice daily if you meet certain criteria (such as advanced age, low body weight, or reduced kidney function). Dosing for DVT/PE treatment or prevention follows a different, doctor-directed schedule. This is a high-risk medicine that must never be started, stopped, or adjusted without your doctor’s explicit instruction.

Storage Instructions

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.

Side Effects

  • Nosebleeds or bleeding gums
  • Heavy menstrual bleeding
  • Nausea

Contraindications

  • Known hypersensitivity to apixaban or any ingredient in this product
  • Active pathological bleeding
  • Severe liver impairment associated with a bleeding tendency (coagulopathy)
  • Conditions or recent events with a significant risk of major bleeding, as assessed by your doctor

Drug / Food Interactions

  • Other anticoagulants or antiplatelet drugs (e.g. warfarin, aspirin, clopidogrel) markedly increase bleeding risk if combined without specific medical direction
  • NSAIDs (e.g. ibuprofen, diclofenac) increase the risk of bleeding, especially gastrointestinal bleeding
  • Strong combined inhibitors of CYP3A4 and P-glycoprotein (e.g. ketoconazole, ritonavir) can raise apixaban blood levels
  • Strong inducers of CYP3A4 and P-glycoprotein (e.g. rifampicin, carbamazepine, phenytoin, St John’s Wort) can reduce apixaban’s effectiveness

Quick Tips

  • Never stop or skip this medicine on your own – stopping suddenly can significantly increase your risk of stroke or blood clots
  • Carry an anticoagulant alert card or inform any doctor, dentist, or pharmacist that you are on apixaban before any procedure
  • Watch for and promptly report unusual bruising, bleeding, or blood in urine/stool
  • Take extra care to avoid injury during activities such as shaving, using sharp tools, or contact sports
