what are noac drugs
Know Your NOACs. In the past four years, three novel oral anticoagulant (NOAC) medications have become available: apixaban (EliquisÂ®), dabigatran (PradaxaÂ®), and rivaroxaban (XareltoÂ®). A fourth NOAC, edoxaban (Savaysaâ¢), has been submitted for approval by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Although it is exciting to have so many alternatives to warfarin, the appropriate use of these medications is essential.
