One more comment, kind of off the topic but what concerns me and I didn’t know I’d be taking Eliquis for the rest of my life, is that it’s expensive. And I’m really not happy about that. It’s not that I can’t go for it but when I went to fill 90 days worth of Eliquis, it was with insurance at the beginning of the year. It was about $380+ dollars for the next 90 days. When my cardiologist ordered it for me he didn’t tell me it was going to be forever, and he didn’t tell me it would cost that much! I hope it comes out with a generic equivalent one of these days, but who knows?

A generic version of Eliquis is due out in 2027 and in the meanwhile we seniors have the $2,000 annual out of pocket help from SS. -At least I know that my drug cost for the year will cap out at $2k.
