First concern is the cost….. it is very expensive with Medicare…. Second concern is excess bleeding risks..,, I have had several small cuts that bled excessively.. Concerned on what would happen in a more serious accident (car or bike wreck). Third concern is putting another pill in my body (although I take very few). I am probably over thinking it…. Just trying to balance conflicting advice…

I agree that the cost is an issue. It even causes me to enter the “donut hole “ period on my Medicare which doubles my out of pocket expenses.
But aside from that and an increase in my tendency to get bruises I don’t have any real issues with it- considering the risk of not taking it. (And I would really prefer not to take any pills at all.)
