2.3.2.3 Factor Xa inhibitors
Direct Oral Anticoagulants (DOACs) are recommended as first line treatment over Vitamin K antagonists (Warfarin) for treatment in newly initiated patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) as per NICE NG196. Apixaban or Rivaroxaban (prescribed generically) is recommended as first line (preferred) DOAC in newly diagnosed patients with NVAF, unless contraindicated, not tolerated or clinically inappropriate. Please see Kent and Medway ICB Position Statement and Risk Mitigation Principles for Anticoagulant Prescribing, for advice on cost-effective choice of DOAC.
