Apixaban
Apixaban is a direct Factor Xa inhibitor that blocks a pivotal enzyme in the clotting cascade, the point where the intrinsic and extrinsic pathways converge to generate thrombin. Halting Factor Xa slows clot formation and lowers the risk of stroke in atrial fibrillation while treating and preventing deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. Unlike older anticoagulants, it is taken by mouth and acts directly on its target without requiring routine blood-level monitoring. A small molecule (C25H25N5O4) with a half-life of about 12 hours, it is typically dosed twice daily to maintain a steady effect. Its predictable, targeted action on a single clotting factor distinguishes it from agents that broadly disrupt the coagulation system. Apixaban is an approved oral anticoagulant among the direct Factor Xa inhibitors.
A Factor Xa inhibitor that blocks a critical step in the clotting cascade to prevent blood clots from forming, reducing the risk of stroke in atrial fibrillation and treating or preventing deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. It is taken by mouth and does not require routine blood monitoring.

Fluconazole increases apixaban plasma concentrations significantly through dual CYP3A4 and P-gp inhibition, raising bleeding risk.
NSAIDs combined with apixaban significantly elevate the risk of GI and other bleeding through additive effects on hemostasis and gastric mucosal injury.
Triple antithrombotic therapy (apixaban + clopidogrel ± aspirin) carries the highest bleeding risk of any oral antithrombotic combination.
Naproxen with apixaban significantly increases GI bleeding risk through additive effects on hemostasis and direct gastric mucosal damage.
Cyclosporine significantly increases apixaban exposure through inhibition of CYP3A4 and P-glycoprotein, elevating bleeding risk.
Combining apixaban with aspirin increases major bleeding risk beyond that of either agent alone through additive antithrombotic and gastric mucosal effects.
