What is eliquis made from?

What is Eliquis made from (what ingredients are in it)?

Eliquis (apixaban) is made from the active ingredient apixaban (the drug substance) plus inactive ingredients (excipients) used to form the tablets. The exact list of inactive ingredients is specific to the tablet strength and formulation.

Is Eliquis “derived” from something natural, like blood thinners?

No. Eliquis is a synthetic small-molecule medicine (apixaban). It is not made from animal or human-derived materials.

Is the ingredient list the same across all Eliquis strengths?

The core active ingredient is the same (apixaban), but the inactive ingredients can vary by tablet strength and manufacturing formulation.

Where to check the exact ingredient list for your dose?

If you tell me the Eliquis tablet strength you have (for example, 2.5 mg or 5 mg), I can help you identify where to look for the precise “inactive ingredients” list on the label/pack insert.
