The FDA recently approved the fourth new oral anticoagulant, Savaysa for use in non-valvular afib, DVT, and PE. It is another factor Xa inhibitor. Use in non-valvular afib requires renal function assessment prior to prescribing, as the drug is renally excreted. Paradoxically, efficacy may be reduced in patients with better-than-normal renal function.
