What can I expect with Antiphospholipid Syndrome (APS)?

I was diagnosed with APS 30 years ago and advised to take a baby aspirin everyday. My hematologist also prescribed Eloquis if I will be traveling for more than 2 hours to avoid blood clots from being sedentary for that long. However, the Eloquis commercial has a fine print advisory stating that APS patients should not take it. Will be seeing my Doctor next week and will ask him about this.

Mayo Clinic stated that Coumadin , or Warfarin, is the drug of choice for treating ASP. That's what my doctor in Rochester said. I was diagnosed in Oct, 2017.
I don't know about Eloquis,.
Maybe you could seek out a second opinion from a MD who specializes in ALS. I see a Rheumatologist, because she also treats me for lupus.
Hope this helps! Pat
