A. Fib use and cost of apixaban (Eliquis).

Posted by wpeppo @wpeppo, Jul 23 4:07pm

Has anyone used the Canadian pharmacy Liferx or any other to purchase Eliquis? cost, reliability, and ease of purchase?

My Doctor said I could get from Canada but they are usually manufactured in other countries so you don’t know what’s in it. Not FDA approved. She did not recommend. So I got the Watchman so I could get off the million dollar Eliquis! (And not worry about a clot!) Good health to you!

They are all manufactured in other countries.
My original trial packs from the cardiologist were made in Ireland.

If they don’t accept US Credit Cards, how you pay them.

Initially I emailed a scanned copy of a prescription along with a scanned copy of a check. After that they would just need a check number. I could reorder a few times before I needed a new prescription.

And how is it going with the Watchman device? I'm seriously considering it as I also have some knee arthritis and they tell me to take it easy with anti inflammatory medicine. I don't see a reason not to get the Watchman....

Be sure to Google the Watchman device before you proceed. Also, it appears you will have to take a daily aspirin after the procedure. Admittedly, I am a little concerned about the implantation. Any mistakes during the procedure could be problematic. Also, I can’t take a daily aspirin. It makes me bleed out my nose.
Hope everything works out for you.

Of course not FDA approved. They would lose all their money. I now live in another country, ands the meds are better here and can get many without prescription, and also can buy just a pill or two or however many you want. I take no meds other than keep a couple of benydryl in house of reaction to something.

My cardiologist recommended Pharmstore out of Canada. Very friendly and easy to work with Company. I pay around $91 for 105 mg tablets. Apixiban Is the same as Eliquis. The company finds a manufacturer and then ships it out from Mauritus. My last prescription was made in India. I Have not noticed any side effects different from Eliquis. And it seems to be doing its job. I too am considering the watchmen however, I’m a bit hesitant to have an implant done.

Good luck to you, and keep asking questions. Like someone else said we are our own advocate..

I am so thankful for medication’s to help my heart health. Going through atrial flutter was a very strange feeling. I now take losartan, metoprolol, and Eliquis to keep everything in check.

Then DO what I just did. Google the negative effects of Watchman.
Recovery process includes: Bleeding, temperature changes and swelling around catheter insertion site. Dizziness or fainting, excessive sweating, fever or chills, nausea or vomiting.

Risks that they SAY are rare. )said the same about the vax, so YOU decide) Don't believe just the people making money from it!
Blood clots, infection, fluid buildup around the heart, stroke!!!

You don't see a reason? Did you investigate? After reading the possible reasons, now you can decide.
