Cadiquis 2.5 Tablet 10 contains Apixaban (2.5 mg), which acts on the body in the following ways:

• Inhibits factor Xa: Apixaban works by selectively blocking an enzyme called Factor Xa in your body. This enzyme plays a key role in forming blood clots.

• Prevents fibrin formation: By blocking Factor Xa, apixaban effectively prevents the conversion of fibrinogen (a protein available in your blood) into fibrin, another protein that's integral for blood clot formation.

• Maintains essential clotting: Despite this anticoagulant activity, apixaban still allows your body to form clots necessary to stop bleeding from injuries. This is particularly important as it ensures that while harmful clots are prevented, essential clotting is maintained.
