Taking apixaban (Eliquis): Any foods or supplements to avoid?
Heart & Blood Health | Last Active: Sep 19 10:36am | Replies (18)Comment receiving replies
Hi, I am on Eliquis (Apixaban )5mg twice a day, before having to take it I had a daily shake ,usually "Garden of Life Raw Meal "or "Origain with 50 Superfoods"
However when I read the labels I saw there were lots of green veg, turmeric, ginger, fruits etc in them Can anyone tell me if they have used them while on Eliquis?
I am aware that supplements like Omega 3 and Turmeric as supplements are to be avoided , but as a vegetarian I really am finding it hard to avoid all the green veg I love and have to eat too many carbs. Are the amount of the veg/fruits in those shakes in small enough amounts to be ok for me, if I take the shakes once a day? I have read so many conflicting websites about what you can/can't eat on this drug I hope you can help! Many thanks, everyone!

Welcome @rosaeglantine4me, I have been on Eliquis 5mg twice a day for more than a year and take supplements for my neuropathy that include omega 3 and turmeric daily. I did discuss the supplements with my doctor and they were OK with what I was taking but it is definitely something you should discuss with your doctor.
When I first started on Eliquis at the higher doses following a hospital stay for blood clots in the lung and my right leg, I did stop my neuropathy supplements and was mindful to avoid certain foods as listed here - What foods should I avoid while on Eliquis?: https://www.drugs.com/medical-answers/what-foods-avoid-eliquis-3577939/
Have you had a chance to discuss it with your doctor?
