Mary @mklapperich, when my anticoagulation went through the roof last summer, I looked for blood from my intestine and from my kidneys and bladder. Only a little blood showed up in my urine for a couple of days. By then, my anticoagulation factor from Warfarin was back in line and has stayed there every since. As long as I check my Warfarin level every month (and I don't find any leaks at home), I feel confident staying with Warfarin, as an old friend has done for the last 10 years.

My latest check on antidotes confirms that no antidote (reversal agent) has been approved yet for Eliquis (see https://www.drugs.com/pro/eliquis.html#s-43685-7 reviewed in July 2018). An antidote for Xarelto was FDA-approved in May 2018 and is expected to be on the market in 2019 (see https://www.drugwatch.com/xarelto/). Until then . . .
