Mean peak plasma concentrations of apixaban following a single oral administration of 5, 10, 25, or 50 mg oral tablets are as follows:
5 mg: 104.7 ng/mL (range, 79.7 to 129.7)
10 mg: 176.3 ng/mL (range, 134.3 to 218.3)
25 mg: 365.1 ng/mL (range, 348.1 to 382.1)
50 mg: 685.2 ng/mL (range, 663.2 to 707.2)
In a study of 1691 patients taking apixaban, doses ranging from 2.5 mg twice a day to 20 mg once a day, apixaban plasma concentrations ranged from 1 to 933 ng/mL, with a median value of 105 ng/mL.
