Taking apixaban (Eliquis): Any foods or supplements to avoid?

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?

thank you, no, as I was in the hospital on the 15th, with the embolism so am a bit shell shocked! I have rheumatoid athritis and my consultant though it was caused by Barcitinib which is a biologic immune suppressing drug known to cause thrombosis and embolism
All I know is I will get reviewed in Spring and will be on Eliquis till then.
Did you feel tired on the drug, etc...or is it having had the pulmonary embolism? Many thanks, Hilary
