Switching from warfarin to apixaban
The patient in front of you has just been dispensed Apixaban. Counsel them in plain language; check their understanding before you finish. Their concerns are theirs to reveal, not yours to read.
Halina
So no more blood tests! This new one must be much milder then?
Tip: check understanding before you finish. Ask the patient to repeat the plan back.
Drug page: find Apixaban in the Drug Explorer to study its counselling points before or after a session.
