Afib/dangers of eliquis

Hi Eliquis users .... I've been on this blood thinner since I was diagnosed with Atrial Fib. I had an ablation last May and things seem to be going great. However, it was recommended by my electrophysiologist that I stay on Eliquis at least until my first year anniversary (May '26) at which time I wear a heart monitor for 72 hours to check to see if I register any irregular heartbeats. I was wondering if anyone on Eliquis is taking CoQ10?
It is my understanding that you have to be careful taking the supplement if you are on the older type of blood thinner i.e. Warfarin, but it won't decrease the effectiveness of Eliquis. Also, what is the recommended dose to take?

@annieparker51 I do take 100 mg of CoQ10 daily, but only because I also take a statin nightly. Statins are known to interfere with the body's own production of C0Q10, so supplementation is advised for most patients taking a statin.
