Antiplatelet drugs and Dental Treatment
Most patients who are taking antiplatelet DOAC/ NOAC drugs do not need to consult a GP but the dentist needs to follow standard management practices.
DOAC/NOAC are drugs like:
- Edoxaban
- Apixaban
- Dabigatran
- Rivvaroxaban
- Etexilate
A GP or consultation specialist may need to be consulted if the patient is taking multiple antiplatelet medication or an injectable medication.
