AndexXa is the antedidote/reversal agent for Eliquis which I suspect is used in emergency-like situations. I’m told by my EP that it is expensive but that most larger emergency rooms have it on hand. Anyone have any experience with it? https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,181947,181947#msg-181947 Tue, 05 May 2026 09:10:59 +0000 Phorum 5.2.23 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,181947,181966#msg-181966 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,181947,181966#msg-181966 Mark AFIBBERS FORUM Thu, 12 Aug 2021 02:50:38 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,181947,181954#msg-181954 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,181947,181954#msg-181954
Compare this to warfarin, which has a half-life measured in days (a full week, actually, but effectively it's about two days). That's why it was important for there to be a reversal agent for warfarin, but the same isn't really true for the NOACs. In an uncontrolled bleeding situation with Eliquis they can generally just wait for the drug to wear off, or give you fresh frozen plasma instead, which is much cheaper, readily available, and works instantly.]]> Carey AFIBBERS FORUM Wed, 11 Aug 2021 15:53:20 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,181947,181947#msg-181947 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,181947,181947#msg-181947 Mark AFIBBERS FORUM Wed, 11 Aug 2021 03:54:58 +0000
