"Within the pages of Beat Your A-Fib, Dr. This is not an easy thing to do, but you have been very, very successful at it." You managed to combine an encyclopedic compilation of information with the simplicity of presentation that enhances the delivery of the information to the reader. She loves it and finds it very useful to help her in dealing with atrial fibrillation." "Dear Steve, I saw a patient this morning with your book and highlights throughout. Professor of Cardiology, Haut-Lévêque Hospital, Bordeaux, France I certainly recommend it for patients who want to know more about atrial fibrillation than what they will learn from doctors." "This book is incredibly complete and easy-to-understand for anybody. "If I had 10 years ago, it would have saved me 8 years of hell.” Uncontrolled bleeding (most serious side effect)Īnimal studies of some DOACs suggest the potential for fetal harm, so pregnant women and those planning a pregnancy should discuss LMWH as the preferred therapy with their doctor.Īs with all blood thinners, patients should avoid aspirin and other NSAIDS and wear or carry identification stating that they are taking anticoagulants.Doctors & patients are saying about 'Beat Your A-Fib'.Potential Side Effects of Direct Oral Anticoagulant Medications Not all DOACs have FDA-approved antidotes in case of complications.Twice-daily dosing may increase chance for non-compliance.More expensive blood thinners than warfarin.Fewer drug, supplement and dietary interactionsĭisadvantages of Direct Oral Anticoagulant Medications.Advantages of Direct Oral Anticoagulant Medications Physicians can use prothrombin complex concentrate in emergency situations involving blood thinners that do not have a specific reversal agent yet approved by FDA. Ongoing studies are confirming its efficacy in reversing the other DOACs on the market betrixaban (BevyxXa®) and edoxaban (Savaysa®) as well as the low molecular weight heparin enoxaparin (Lovenox®) and fondaparinux (Arixtra®). On May 4 th 2018, FDA approved andexanet alfa (AndexXa®) for the reversal of apixaban (Eliquis®) and rivaroxaban (Xarelto®). In 2015 the FDA approved idarucizumab (Praxbind®) for reversal of dabigatran (Pradaxa®). One important concern of patients and physicians has been that there was no specific antidote for DOACs. In addition, some DOACs require twice-daily dosing that, when compared to warfarin’s once-per-day administration, may lead to more missed doses. However, DOACs tend to be more expensive than warfarin and are shorter acting, making it important not to miss any doses, as this can quickly expose patients to inadequate protection against blood clot formation. Unlike warfarin, DOACs do not require regular laboratory monitoring and are not affected by food or alcohol. Others are in various stages of clinical study.ĭOACs are an alternative choice for blood clot treatment in appropriately selected patients. Available medications in this category include apixaban (Eliquis®), betrixaban (BevyxXa®), dabigatran (Pradaxa®), edoxaban (Savaysa®) and rivaroxaban (Xarelto®). They are considered to be at least as effective as warfarin. These medications directly inhibit the blood’s ability to form blood clots.ĭOACs are both rapid and short-acting agents with relatively low bleeding risks and good overall safety profiles. Unlike warfarin these drugs do not require regular blood monitoring. Several direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) have been approved by the United States Food & Drug Administration (FDA) since 2010.
