HealthTrust presents…”New Indications & Doses for Direct Oral Anticoagulants (DOACs)

Since the approval of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) for the prevention of stroke in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation and the prevention and treatment of venous thromboembolism (VTE), research has continued to delineate what other applications DOACs might have. Pharmacists may not be aware of updates to the indications, doses and applications for these medications. Recently, rivaroxaban has received FDA approval for two additional dose schedules and indications. Additionally, new evidence has been published on the use of apixaban to prevent VTE in patients with cancer. The presenter will share information and evidence associated with these new indications.

Learning Objectives for pharmacists  |  At the end of this session, participants should be able to:

  1. Describe the new applications and indications for apixaban and rivaroxaban
  2. Evaluate the evidence associated with each indication
  3. Select a DOAC dose and schedule for a novel indication given a patient case

Learning Objectives for pharmacy technicians  |  At the end of this session, participants should be able to:

  1. List the new doses that are available for rivaroxaban and apixaban
  2. Determine key dosing differences for rivaroxaban and apixaban
