NOACs (Rivaroxaban / Apixaban)
for Pulmonary Embolism Recovery
Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) including rivaroxaban and apixaban are first-line anticoagulation for PE in eligible patients. Minimum 3 months recommended after first PE; extended treatment considered based on individual recurrence risk assessment.
How it works
NOACs inhibit specific clotting factors (Factor Xa or thrombin) to prevent clot extension and reduce recurrence risk. Unlike warfarin, they do not require regular INR monitoring, simplifying long-term management.
What to watch for
Requires prescription. Not suitable in severe renal impairment, pregnancy, or antiphospholipid syndrome. Do not stop without medical advice. Report any unusual bleeding to your doctor immediately.
