@1995victoria i’m taking it because I had an extensive blood clot in my leg and I have a clotting factor gene.

@1995victoria no, I’m on Eliquis because I had an extensive blood clot in my leg and I have a genetic clotting gene that the doctor thinks contributes to blood clotting. He told me I need to be on it for the rest of my life. I’m not happy about it, but I guess I need to follow his direction. Good luck to you. I also have cold agglutinin, hemolytic anemia, which is a rare disorder that affects my red blood cells. If I get cold, my immune system will attack my red blood cells and will clot. When I have blood work done for my CBC, they have to keep the tube warm or else it will be clotted by the time they go to process it.
