What has NICE said?

Apixaban (Eliquis) is recommended as an option for treating and preventing recurrent deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism.

What does this mean for me?

If you have deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism and your doctor thinks that apixaban is the right treatment, you should be able to have the treatment on the NHS.

Apixaban should be available on the NHS within 3 months of the guidance being issued.
