Can I safely stop Eliquis and use Baby Asprin instead?

Posted by gmakat24 @gmakat24, Mar 17 9:34pm

I have been on Eliquis for over 2 years following a blood clot in my leg. My PCP says I need to stay on it for the rest of my life.
I had venous ablation to resolve vein issues. I also tested for the blood clotting gene and do not have it.
I'm fatigued and weak since on Eliquis. Is is safe to stop taking Eliquis and instead opt for baby asprin?

I don't want to be guilty of causing someone harm, but i can't afford Eliquis and I now take A regular aspirin daily. My doctor does not really approve, but she said to take a 325mg aspirin if I was going to use aspirin.

At my Feb. 2025 annual physical, my P.A. shared that she could send my expensive prescriptions through a very reputable Canadian Pharmacy that she is familiar with.
She learned of this from her transplant patients who had care at Froedert Hospital - their physicians used that pharmacy.
The savings is quite large.
She had a patient who was paying about $520 per month for Eliquis & paid approximately $220 for a
3-month supply of Eliquis through this Canadian Pharmacy:
It’s called
Canada Prescriptions Plus
https://www.canadaprescriptionsplus.com/
Allow 2 to 6 weeks for shipping.
They only accept American Express for payment.
(There’s reason to be careful with other Canadian pharmacies.
I read over 90% are not reputable.)

You can get it from a canadian pharmacy for around 60 dollars a month or less if you go with the generic that is available everywhere except the good old USA. Just search canadian pharmacy eliquis on google and a lot of options will pop up.
