all I can say is, I wouldn't take it. Here is the side effects -
Spinal bleeding
Swelling of the face or tongue
Allergic reaction
Eliquis withdrawal symptoms
Thrombocytopenia
Tiredness
Anemia
Bleeding from cuts
Chest pain or tightness
Constipation
Wheezing
You have no symptoms, but docs want you to take a pill that possibly does one or more of the above. Really???

UNHELPFUL.
Because if your CHADS score is higher than 1 - 1 fr female, 1 for over 65 etc you should take a DOAC.
I have taken PRADAXA 110 x twice daily for 5 .3 years.
None of the above have happened. If I forget I space it out. Put 2 out at night. Every night but sometimes fall asleep.
I have RAPID and Persistent AF with no start or stop symptoms.
Try another one is research shows bad side effects.
I take PRADAXA with fruit juice or fruit.
I have had 3 ops since taking them. Stop 3 x 24hr prior. SWEET and return when anaesthetist says.
PIP is now research that is foremost.
check it out.
AF without symptoms cause you have persistent is a hidden risk. 1 made stray clot nay cause a stroke/heart attack like what happened to me.
But mine undiagnosed AF was caused by thyroid cancer diagnosed on day 4 when a carotid arteries scan showed a shadow on my thyroid. Carcinoma 17mm x 9mm!

Yes and I’ve discussed this with cardiologist two days after the visit and with my GP. Both agree I need it.
