Apixaban · エリキュース
Apixaban (Eliquis, 2.5 and 5 mg) is available in Japan with the same dosing as abroad, alongside rivaroxaban, edoxaban and dabigatran. Never miss doses while traveling; bring the full supply for your stay (up to 1 month without paperwork) and a note of your indication, since Japanese cardiologists will need it to continue prescribing.
