These are mostly used in patients with AF, though apixaban is also used to prevent VTEs in patients have hip or knee replacement. One of my homework items from my consultant this week was to research the new anticoagulants that are currently gaining popularity. His rationale was that by the time I’m the one prescribing them, they’ll probably be much more common than they are now. Which is true, but as they aren’t likely to come up in my exam I kind of don’t need to be learning this shit right now. Still, it’s pretty interesting. Medicine is cool :) -- source link
