Eliquis is a prescription medication used to 'thin' your blood.

It can be used in different groups of people and diseases but you primarily see it used either after a knee or hip replacement surgery and if you want to treat or prevent a DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis) or PE (Pulmonary Embolism).

But unlike other 'blood thinners' (i.e., warfarin (Coumadin)) it is not affected by certain foods. It also acts differently in the body by basically blocking activation of your platelets which leads to blocking clot formation.

The major side effects are all going to be bleeding related with hemorrhage, nosebleeds and blood in the urine as possibilities.

I discuss other side effects in the video along with some of the different dosing you might see.

I also discuss if you can take with alcohol.

Have you or someone you know taken Eliquis? What was your experience? Let me know in the comments below.

Thanks in advance,
