Welcome @tom111, I've been on Eliquis for about 9 months now for a blood clot in the leg followed shortly by one in my lungs. I wasn't really aware of muscle weakness as a side effect but have noticed a little in my legs. I was thinking mine may be more from other reasons but I'm not sure. I do try to ride my exercise bike daily for at least 30 minutes along with some other daily exercise routines to keep my 81 year old body moving.

Have you mentioned the leg weakness to your doctor to see if there may be a way to manage it from getting worse?

What does the doc say? Just to keep taking it anyway?
