Lixiana is a medication that contains the active ingredient edoxaban. It belongs to a group of medicines called anticoagulants, which help prevent the formation of blood clots. Lixiana is suitable for individuals who need to reduce their risk of stroke or blood clots due to conditions like atrial fibrillation or deep vein thrombosis.
About Lixiana
Dosage and usage
You should take Lixiana exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. The typical dose is one tablet per day, with or without food. It's important not to exceed the recommended dose, as this can increase the risk of bleeding. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it's almost time for your next dose. In case of any unusual bleeding or if you need to undergo surgery, inform your doctor.
What Lixiana contains
Each Lixiana tablet contains 30 mg, 60 mg, or 150 mg of edoxaban. The tablets also include excipients such as lactose monohydrate, hypromellose, and magnesium stearate. These components help maintain the stability and effectiveness of the medication.
Side effects
Common side effects of Lixiana may include bleeding, bruising, and dizziness. Serious side effects that require immediate medical attention include signs of bleeding like unusual bruising, blood in urine, or black stools. Allergic reactions to Lixiana are rare but can be severe, so seek medical help if you experience symptoms like rash, itching, or swelling.
Precautions
It's important not to use Lixiana if you have certain conditions like artificial heart valves or active bleeding. Pregnant women should avoid taking Lixiana, as its effects on unborn babies are not known. If you have a history of liver or kidney problems, inform your doctor before starting Lixiana. Individuals on other blood thinners should consult with their healthcare provider before using Lixiana to avoid potential drug interactions.

I am so grateful to Doctoronline.co.uk and I can’t express my appreciation enough, as they were there when I couldn’t get an appointment with my own NHS GP here in London.They are absolutely amazing and they have taken away the stress and anxiety that I felt when I needed a GP appointment and the thought of going through the whole process and worrying about missing a telephone call from my GP practice because I was working and knowing they wouldn’t call back .
Excellent service.

Very efficient
Very efficient. The website order form was simple and easy to follow. I couldn't get a doctor's appointment for a medication I have previously been prescribed so I opted to buy from this company instead. The price was reasonable and the medication worked perfectly and quickly and eradicated the problem, I'm back to good health again. It arrived quickly. I wouldn't hesitate to use this company again if necessary when I can't get a doctor's appointment.
