How to take the tablet

Swallow the tablet, preferably with water.

Lixiana can be taken with or without food.

If you have difficulty swallowing the tablet whole, talk to your doctor about other ways to take Lixiana. The tablet may be crushed and mixed with water or apple puree immediately before you take it. If necessary, your doctor may also give you the crushed Lixiana tablet through a tube via the nose (nasogastric tube) or a tube in the stomach (gastric feeding tube).
