Where is eliquis made?

Who makes Eliquis, and where is it made?

Eliquis (apixaban) is made by Bristol Myers Squibb (BMS) and Pfizer, which market the drug in many countries. The active ingredient (and finished product) is manufactured through a global supply chain that can involve multiple contract manufacturing sites.

Which countries or plants supply Eliquis?

Public, country-by-country “where it’s made” details are not consistently listed in one place and can vary by market and through time (for example, if manufacturers switch manufacturing sites or packaging plants). The most reliable way to confirm the exact manufacturing location for a specific bottle is to check the “Manufactured for…” line and the manufacturing/packaging site information printed on the box or label for that specific product.

How can patients confirm the manufacturing location on their own prescription?

Look on the Eliquis box or the bottle label for:
- The company that manufactured the product (or “manufactured for” the marketing authorization holder)
- The manufacturing and/or packaging site address
- Batch/lot-specific information that can tie back to a particular facility

If you share the country you’re in and the exact wording from the label (you can paste it, or redact personal info), I can help interpret what it means.
