The impact of a direct oral anticoagulant in cardiovascular disease
Novel oral anticoagulants (NOACs) have uncomplicated dosing with no need for INR monitoring and fewer possible drug and food interactions compared to warfarin, which may result in improved adherence to treatment and may offset the high retail cost of NOACs. Rivaroxaban 10mg is the only NOAC …
