Excerpt

Betrixaban is an oral anticoagulant and direct inhibitor of factor Xa which is used to decrease the risk of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolus in patients hospitalized with an acute medical condition who are at high risk for venous thromboses. Betrixaban has been linked to a low rate of serum aminotransferase elevations during therapy but has not been linked to instances of clinically apparent liver injury.
