“…1 More than 70 years later, this product still remains widely used for the prophylaxis and treatment of venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism (PE), and thromboembolic complications associated with atrial fibrillation (AF) or cardiac valve replacement. Thrombin and trapped red blood cells are the primary components of venous thrombi, posing serious risks to patients, including a high rate of morbidity and mortality.…”

Warfarin has been a highly prevalent agent for over 70 years; however, its use has been limited by drug-drug interactions, adverse events, and the need for frequent monitoring. To minimize these complications, several non-vitamin K oral anticoagulants have been approved, including the latest agent, edoxaban. Edoxaban is a factor Xa inhibitor approved for the prevention of stroke/systemic embolism in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation and for the treatment of venous thromboembolism. Edoxaban was largely studied in the Edoxaban versus Warfarin in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation (ENGAGE AF-TIMI 48) and Edoxaban versus Warfarin for the Treatment of Symptomatic Venous Thromboembolism (Hokusai-VTE) trials, both showing noninferiority when compared with warfarin. Similar to other oral anticoagulants, the most serious adverse effects of edoxaban are related to bleeding. However, there are currently no approved reversal agents. Andexanet alfa and ciraparantag are the latest agents being studied for reversal. This article provides an overview of the safety and efficacy along with the advantages and disadvantages of edoxaban.

The use of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) is becoming increasingly common in primary care. While this group of drugs requires less intensive monitoring than warfarin, safe prescribing is still necessary to achieve optimum therapeutic effect and minimise adverse effects. This article discusses the key principles of safe DOAC prescribing for non‐valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF), and the systems that general practices can put in place to achieve this.
