Briax 20 mg contains Apixaban, an anticoagulant (blood thinner) used to prevent and treat blood clots. It lowers the risk of conditions such as stroke, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and pulmonary embolism (PE) by blocking Factor Xa, an enzyme responsible for clot formation. By reducing the likelihood of clots, Briax helps protect against serious cardiovascular complications.
