Drug firm Indoco Remedies on Monday said it has received approval from the US health regulator for blood thinning drug Apixaban tablets.
The approved product is therapeutically equivalent to the reference listed drug Eliquis of Bristol-Myers Squibb.

Apixaban is an anticoagulant, or blood thinner. It is used for patients with health problems caused by a blood clot.
