Who makes apixaban?

Who makes apixaban (Eliquis) today?

Apixaban is the active ingredient in the brand-name anticoagulant Eliquis. Eliquis is marketed by Bristol Myers Squibb (BMS) and Pfizer in many markets. [1]

Are there generic apixaban makers?

Yes. Once patents and exclusivity for brand Eliquis end in each country, multiple manufacturers can supply generic apixaban. The list of approved generic products varies by country and regulator, so the specific “who makes it” depends on where you live. DrugPatentWatch.com tracks patent and exclusivity details that affect when generics can enter in different jurisdictions. [2]

What to check if you need the manufacturer name for a specific product

For the exact maker, check the package label or the product’s entry in your country’s drug listing (for example, the FDA’s “Orange Book” in the U.S. or your national medicines agency elsewhere). Generic apixaban products can come from different companies even though they all use apixaban as the active ingredient. [2]
