OMG i´m from Colombia and i've always have issues undestanding this, even when they explain this to me in spanish, you MR. are a truly lifesaver, thank you so much.
Thank you so much for starting to make videos again! For some reason RU-vid didn’t notify me of this video, I was just going to go rewatch an old video and happened to see it
I seriously love your videos man. Well researched, clean and gets rid of the unnecessary waffle. Watch many of them more than once. Hoping to see you course you and running. Happy to beta test, our you ever need anyone.
Thank you for explaination of these drugs. You said there’s no lab test to monitor these drugs. Just to update, there is a labtest to monitors these drugs called anti-factor Xa assay. I work in the lab and that’s why I stumbled upon your video because I wanted to understand more about Direct Thrombin inhibitors drugs. And thank you so much for your explaination here. You have a great content.
I had a PE in October and the doctors still can’t tell me how I had one due to all my test coming back normal. So this entire process is confusing. I’m still unsure on how I got sick
I always have this question but I couldn't answer of my own. for Eliquis indicated for DVT/PE, are those three criteria only applied for Afib indication?
Great question. Short answer: No A patient with Afib is usually on Apixaban lifelong to prevent a clot caused by AFib. But a patient without Afib develops a unprovoked DVT/PE, then they are apixaban for 6months or longer. So Apixaban has multiple indications both with and without AFib
Drug Chug Thanks for replying. Just want to make sure I understand correctly. We will still adjust the dose for patient with DVT/PE( assuming no afib) if he or she meets 2 of the criteria right?
Great video. According to ISMP guidelines, QD is an error prone abbreviation and should not be utilized, especially in educational content. Otherwise great content, keep it up
