It is my understanding that Eliquis is NOT used for an acute AFib incident. It is effective only when taken consistently over time to prevent stroke or blood clots and provides no benefit as a pill to be taken only when you are in AFib or having a stroke. There are other medications, like alteplase (tPA), used to dissolved clots in an acute or emergency situation.
