I had asked my cardiologist the same thing. While he gave me an answer, it was so vague it might not have even qualified as an answer.

My own opinion is that any medication used to lessen clotting is another big issue as far as bleeds. I never see much published about reversal of Eliqus and similar agents. Supposedly reversal agents aren't that stocked everywhere. So for the person suffering a major bleeding event whether internal or external they seem to be in big trouble. We all mention not wanting a stroke, true but bleeding out doesn't sound like such a great alternative either. Put everyone over 70 on Eliqus and it's going to get even busier at the ER or the morgue.
