You have been referred this page as you have been told by your doctor that you have a condition called venous thromboembolism (or VTE for short). VTE is when a blood clot forms in a vein. This might mean that you have a deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a pulmonary embolism (PE) or both. Your doctor has prescribed apixaban. This is a type of medication known as a direct-acting oral anticoagulant (or DOAC). Apixaban is a blood thinning medication given to treat VTE and help prevent another clot from forming. If you have had a DVT or PE, you are not alone. VTE is a fairly common condition. About 1 in every 20 people will have a VTE in their lifetime.
