Savaysa is typically taken once per day by mouth in tablet form, with or without food as directed by your doctor. The dosage will depend on your medical condition, weight, response to treatment, and other medications you may be taking. It is important to inform your doctor and pharmacist about all products you use, including prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and herbal products.
If you have difficulty swallowing the tablet whole, you can crush the tablet and mix it with 2 to 3 ounces (60 to 90 milliliters) of water or applesauce and consume the entire mixture immediately. Avoid preparing this mixture for future use.
The standard dose of Savaysa (edoxaban) for most patients is 60 mg taken orally once daily with or without food, following 5 to 10 days of treatment with a parenteral anticoagulant. However, the dosage may be adjusted based on factors such as medical condition, response to treatment, weight, and other medications being taken. For patients with moderate renal dysfunction (creatinine clearance 15 to 50 mL/min) or low body weight (60 kg or less), a reduced dose of 30 mg daily may be recommended.
Follow the instructions and guidelines given by your doctor and pharmacist when taking Savaysa, and do not hesitate to ask any questions or express any concerns you may have about the medication.
