WARNING - BEWARE: This drug Eliquis almost killed me. I am lucky to be here writing this message.
Before taking this horrible drug Eliquis, Grill your doctor to thoroughly explain the dangers of taking it.
After spending several days in the hospital and being released for pneumonia they sent me home. I live in a rural area 20miles from the nearest hospital. Before leaving the hospital a nurse told me the doctors prescribed me a blood thinner. 5 MG twice a day of Eliquis because the felt my blood pressure was low. No one - I mean No one ever told me there is or could be a downside to taking this drug. After Three days at home the main artery in my colon bust and if it was not for my wife and son calling the paramedics quickly I would have died.
After arriving at the hospital and reversing the Eliquis drug and receiving a transfusion of 13 IUs of blood they operated on me for 4 hours to stop the bleeding. I was told by staff I was very lucky. I am home again now and having muscle problems in my legs. (Walking) So I am not a big fan of this poison.
