Apigy 2.5 Tablet 10 is primarily used to prevent the formation of blood clots in patients with an irregular heart rhythm, a condition known as atrial fibrillation, which isn't caused by heart valve problems. This medication falls under the category of anticoagulants, often referred to as "blood thinners".
In addition to preventing blood clots in atrial fibrillation patients, this tablet is also recommended for individuals who have recently undergone elective hip or knee replacement surgery, reducing their risk of developing harmful blood clots post-surgery. It effectively decreases the chances of deep vein thrombosis (a clot usually in the leg) and pulmonary embolism (a serious condition where a clot travels to the lungs).
Before starting this medication, it's crucial to discuss with the doctor your medical history and any ongoing medications you're currently on. If you experience any side effects while using this medicine, notify your doctor immediately. Always ensure that you continue taking this tablet for the duration prescribed by your doctor for optimal results.
