Nisar Ahmed: The Evolution of Anticoagulation Therapy
Nisar Ahmed, Pharmacist at Zubair Pharmacy, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“70 years of warfarin vs the new generation.
Here’s why anticoagulation has changed forever.
Warfarin — blocks vitamin K clotting factors, needs constant INR monitoring, dozens of food and drug interactions.
Still irreplaceable for mechanical heart valves.
Apixaban (Eliquis) — directly inhibits Factor Xa, predictable, no monitoring, fewer interactions.
The landmark ARISTOTLE trial: 21% less stroke, 31% less major bleeding, 11% lower mortality vs warfarin in AF.
- Mechanical heart valve? Stick with warfarin – DOACs are contraindicated.
- Non-valvular AF or VTE? Apixaban is now the standard of care.
