I began taking Eliquis 4 months ago and developed a UTI which my cardiologist said was not related. My urologist has prescribed Ciprofloxacin 2-500mg tablets per day which I have now started. Instructions, which I now read, state do not take if on blood thinners. I am on day 2 of 7. Should I continue.

The only interactions I know of with Cipro and blood thinners is when you take Cipro and Warfarin. In that case, I think the Cipro increases the effects of Warfarin. But, I am not in the medical field. I have been on Eliquis for 8 years now and have taken Cipro with no side effects and no red flags from the pharmacist who monitors all drug interactions.
