Information
Ondexxya, known generically as andexanet alfa, is a groundbreaking medication designed to reverse the effects of certain anticoagulants (blood thinners) in cases of life-threatening or uncontrolled bleeding. It acts as an antidote for direct and indirect factor Xa inhibitors, such as apixaban and rivaroxaban, which are commonly prescribed to prevent stroke and systemic embolism in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation, treat deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and pulmonary embolism (PE). Ondexxya works by binding to these inhibitors, neutralizing their anticoagulant effects, and restoring the body's ability to form blood clots. This is particularly crucial in emergency situations where rapid reversal of blood thinning is necessary to prevent excessive blood loss. Administered intravenously, Ondexxya is a critical tool in emergency and critical care settings, offering a lifeline to patients experiencing severe bleeding complications.
