Eliquis (apixaban) is a blood thinner medicine that reduces blood clotting and reduces the risk of stroke and systemic embolism in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation. Eliquis belongs to a class of medicines called anticoagulant medications. Read more here about how the available alternatives treat atrial fibrillation, and here for an in-depth discussion of the dangers coming from blood clots.

CYP3A4 inhibitor drugs such as Serzone, Sporanox, Nizoral, Vfend, Reyataz, Biaxan and Ketek should not be taken while a patient is taking Eliquis. Patients may have a higher risk of bleeding if Eliquis is taken alongside other medicines that increase the risk of bleeding, such as aspirin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), warfarin (Coumadin), heparin, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) or serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), and other medicines to help prevent or treat blood clots.

How does Eliquis work?

Eliquis should be taken strictly as prescribed. Usually, it is meant to be taken twice each day, each dose separated by approximately twelve hours. Mornings and nights are standard dosing practice. Eliquis can be taken by mouth with or without food. The tablet can be crushed and mixed with water, apple juice, or applesauce.

If one dose is missed, it should be taken as soon as possible - as long as there are more than six hours before the next scheduled dose. If it is less than six hours until the next dose, the manufacturer’s recommendation (found in the package insert) is to skip the missed dose and taking the next dose at the scheduled time.

Eliquis is a blood thinner and can seriously affect people with bleeding disorders. The prescribing doctor needs to be fully aware of the complete medical history when Eliquis is prescribed and will have decided that the specific benefits of Eliquis outweigh all of its risks for this patient.

Pregnant or breastfeeding women should not take Eliquis. The manufacturers recommend that if a pregnancy is expected or planned, the patient’s healthcare provider should be informed, and anyone becoming pregnant while taking Eliquis should inform their healthcare provider immediately.
