VTE can be manifested as deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism and it is a leading cause of preventable death in hospitalized patients . |
| CAS Number: | 330942-05-7 |
| Molecular Weight: | 451.91 |
| DrugBank Indication: | Betrixaban is indicated for prophylaxis of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in conditions of moderate to severe restricted mobility or in patients that qualify as in risk of VTE. |
| DrugBank Pharmacology: | Betrixaban is an oral anticoagulant that excerts its action by preventing thrombin generation without having a direct effect on platelet aggregation . |
