Hi
I'm 74
I had nose bleeds until my thinners had time to adjust in my system and vice/versa
I was on effient then was on both effient and pradaxa together
I am now on only the pradaxa
The only side effects I seem to have now is a down sensation about 45min from dose time then I'm aokay
I also do my med with food and do better

Hope this helps
Ron
