RE: the cost of Eliquis, I was paying $100. per month until about a year ago when a generic brand of Apixaban became available. Now it costs $30.00 per mo.
That's for 5mg.x 2 per day. I have Paroxysmal A-fib....I don't even know when or if I'm having episodes. I think mine is caused by a bicuspid aortic valve.

Hi, @justwannasay. Everybody is interested in where you found generic Eliquis for $30 per month last year. The patent blocks generic versions until at least November 2026, maybe as late as 2028 now that a court has acted again on the legal duration of this particular patent. Martin
