Pradaxa and Eliquis contain different substances, but both belong to a relatively new group of anticoagulants called NOAC. The indication for the use of both drugs is non-valvular atrial fibrillation accompanied by at least one of the factors such as: diabetes, heart failure of the upper or equal class II according to NYHA, stroke or transient ischemic stroke and age ≥75 years. Drugs have a very similar profile of action, they may differ in contraindications or individual response to the treatment of the patient's body. Based on your overall health, your doctor individually decides whether Pradaxa or Eliquis will be a more beneficial medicine for you. I attach leaflets to both drugs: Pradaxa: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/63407/pradaxa-kapsulki/ulotka Eliquis: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/26713/eliquis-tabletki-powlekane/ulotka/ You can read more about these drugs in this article: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/przewodnik-po-lekach-przeciwzakrzepowych
