A month ago I finally reluctantly agreed to take an Rx of Eliquis, which is touted as the latest and greatest and safest and bestest.
Well, I picked up the Rx of 60 pills for a bit less than $50 and read the medication guide that came with it. Had the same cautions as all the other ten or 12 blood thinners, and once again don't bump your head, and I find this online:
"Andexxa: The New Eliquis Antidote The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Andexxa in mid-2018 for patients who have been using Eliquis and similar drugs. Andexxa is used when the anticoagulation effects of Eliquis need to be reversed quickly because the patient's life is at risk due to uncontrolled bleeding."
Aw, jeeze. No thanks. Not after my 2019 ER nosebleed which had to be stitched up internally and I had to wear a drainage container for three days.
And that was before the Covid face mask thing.
Anyhow, one of the pills rolled under something so now I have 59 of them. I haven't told my Doctor yet, but the pharmacy called me to tell me they have a refilll Rx ready for me to pick up.
