Show Notes
Do you use rivaroxaban? Do you want to know more about using rivaroxaban? Or even apixaban? In this podcast we discuss both anticoagulant drugs with study authors Alex Lynch and Rob Goggs. I learnt plenty and I hope you will too!
We also recorded a ‘burning questions on thromboprophylaxis’ podcast that will be out very soon, so keep an eye out for that too! You can also find the podcasts on the www.vetlit.org/podcast page itself.
In this episode we cover:
The background to the use of oral anticoagulants
A brief tour of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics.
The biological effect of both drugs, when it happens and the concept of rebound hypercoagulability after drug withdrawal.
The original study is here:
