Indications
⚠️ Always consult a registered physician before taking any medicine.
Pharmacology
Betrixaban is a factor Xa inhibitor. It blocks the active site of factor Xa directly and doesn't need a cofactor, such as Anti-thrombin III, to work. It acts on free factor Xa and also on prothrombinase activity. Because it inhibits factor Xa in this way, Betrixaban lowers thrombin generation (TG). It has no direct effect on platelet aggregation.
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding
Use in Pregnancy: No data exist on the use of Betrixaban in pregnant women. Even so, the treatment is likely to raise the risk of hemorrhage during pregnancy and delivery.
Lactation: No data are available on whether Betrixaban or its metabolites pass into human milk. The effects of the drug on a breastfed infant and on milk production are also not known.
⚠️ Talk to your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
