ELIQUIS  (APIXABAN):  Apixaban is used to prevent serious blood clots from forming due to a certain irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation) or after hip/knee replacement surgery. With atrial fibrillation, part of the heart does not beat the way it should. This can lead to blood clots forming, which can travel to other parts of your body (such as the lungs or legs) or increase your risk for stroke. In the United States, apixaban is also approved to treat certain types of blood clots (deep vein thrombosis-DVT, pulmonary embolus-PE) and to prevent them from forming again. Apixaban is an anticoagulant that works by blocking certain clotting proteins in your blood.   FDA Approval Date: 2012-12-28 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

Ever since I have been taking this I have regular headaches, pressure in my head & eyes, I feel like I need to burp but cannot unless I drink a ton of water and go for walk. This has also caused acid reflux, I literally have cut a ton from my diet but its not the food so it doesnt really matter. I hate this medicine it has effected my normal daily life, so depressing.

 1  Blood Clot in blood vessels Extreme weight gain, bloating and abdominal pain. Would not recommend this to anyone. I was prescribed this because I have a blood clot in my blood vessels in the back of my head that extends down the side of my neck. This was caused by hormone medicine (Estradiol) to treat my Endometriosis. I was never informed about any of the side effects of Eliquis even though I have brought it up multiple times. I am through with taking this medicine. F 42 0 months

The side effects have been hard to deal with. And stopping apixaban is very difficult as it can cause more clots. Plus I have had withdrawl symptoms as I am know coming off them. Which include flare up off joint pain and muscle pain and breathlessness. F 58 6 days

 1  Clot in artery to the heart Developed. Blood clot in my artery about 2 years ago. Probably had covid and didnt realize it because there wasn't testing at the time. Was put on xarelto originally but had another mild heart attack and the doc took me off of it because i wasn't taking it with dinner, but was never instructed to. This doc put me on eliquis because it doesn't necessarily have to be taken with food. In the 2 months ive been taking it ive had much more bad days than good. Most recently I've become very dizzy and bad tingling to my hands and feet along with bad dry mouth. Going back to my doctor tomorrow to be put back on xarelto that didnt really give me any wierd side affects, maybe just slight anxiety. M 36 2 months

 1  CV pneumonia PE resulting CV Long Haul symtoms began to exaggerate end of 2nd month of taking this med - felt like someone sitting on my chest, joint pain, brain fog, very low energy, no previous pulminary issues or heart issues until CV event and taking this RX when it's possible a baby aspirin could probably do the trick - keeping us sick are they? Also - REFUSED NIH CV PROTOCOL IN HOSPITAL and preparing for a review of everything from ER to discharge from hospital after 13 days. This entire plandemic can never happen again. Did Eliquis slide through as a means to cause other health issues? Feels like it with everything else going on in health care - thank God for the doctors standing true to their Oath. Those who let money rule their practices - huge shock wave coming your way! F 70 3 months
