Could you expand at all about what you mean about almost losing your life to Eliquis? I expect you know that Rx is supposed to help with saving lives admittedly potentially with many complications. Would be helpful to know more about the risks per he situation you experienced. Thanks for sharing your experience as well.

I hesitate to respond for this person, especially if he/she replies soon, but my guess is that she/he had a severe bleed that was made so much worse by the serum levels of apixaban. There is an antidote for apixaban, but I don't know how widely available it is. In any event, a blood replacement transfusion should add a lot of platelet capacity to a patient if it can be done in time.
