Was Andexxa, which reverses Eliquis bleeding, taken off the market?

I read that Andexxa was taken off of the market. If so, what drug is used to stop bleeding caused by Eliquis medication?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Heart & Blood Health Support Group.

@philski Yes, Andexxa was removed from the market by the manufacturer last year due to excessive side effects. There are older medications now being used, this is done in a hospital setting to monitor for effectiveness and side effects.

About eight years ago my cardiologist put me on apixaban, explained it and its risks, and said they had an antidote. The public health nurse who gave us newly diagnosed AF patients a morning lecture about how to look after ourselves shook her head and said not as far as she knew. I kept looking for any news, but could find none. Meanwhile, I have had numerous booboos that bled or oozed, and they all formed scabs and stopped on their own, maybe with a bandage over them after a spritz of peroxide.
