Consider Eliquis or Xarelto Over Pradaxa for Treating VTE

November 2014

The new oral anticoagulants (Eliquis, Pradaxa, and Xarelto) will be used more to TREAT venous thromboembolism (VTE).

Plus they DON'T need overlap with an injectable anticoagulant (enoxaparin, etc)...because they work faster.
