Effect of Apixaban
Apixaban belongs to the group of active substances of the anticogulants and prevents the fast coagulation of the blood. The substance is effective when ingested and temporarily, directly and highly inhibits the activity of a major factor in blood coagulation, Factor Xa. Apixaban influences the activity of the free and already in blood clots bound factor. Through its influence, the active substance also indirectly inhibits the enzyme which causes the platelet-derived coagulation factor thrombin from prothrombin. In addition, however, apixaban has no direct effects on platelet aggregation. Due to its properties, apixaban prevents the formation of thrombin and the formation of blood clots, without hindering the rest of the blood clotting, for example in case of injury.
