I have AFIb and PMR. Trying to wean down the prednisone, currently at 9mg going to 8.5 today and reducing by 1/2 mg a month. It’s such a slow process. But have tried 1 mg a month and always flare at about 5. Trying a slower taper. My doc has never mentioned the danger of afib and taking Eliquis with prednisone. I learn more from all of you. Now I am worried!!!!!

Don't obsess about it. May never happen.

I'm on Eliquis and prednisone together after a DVT (thrombosis) 8mths ago. When I had no choice but to start on a blood thinner, my doctor mentioned a problem with taking the blood thinner Warfarin with prednisone. If we have to take a blood thinner with prednisone, Eliquis is apparently the better one to take. They work differently.
