Is eliquis 5mg enough to break up a suspected blood clot in my right m

Eliquis is normally prescribed as a preventative at 5mg am / pm tablet Now can it be used to slowly break up a blood clot in your arm ? I would think there are better alternatives than Eliquis. But not knowing anything about you or your health in general ,maybe I’ve said enough about your clot Be well
