My brother in law was bleeding from an ulcer or one (or more) cancer lesions this past Friday. He was a long time user of Eliquis for leg blood clots. He received the Eliquis reversal agent in Ames, Iowa. Ames is neither a large city or a small town
But, they had the reversal drug for the Eliquis he had taken the evening before.

That's good to hear. It was 2-3 years back when I was inquiring about reversal and availability with my cardiologist. At that time according to him it was supposedly only available at Level 1 trauma hospitals and would be available to others via request. But I believe what hasn't changed is the time for reversal to take effect which depending on the situation can potentially affect the outcome. But glad it was available for him.

If you don't mind, please advise he name of the drug he received for Eliquis reversal. Thank you. Regards
