Hi. joaf37. My dentist recently extracted one tooth and my cardiologist said to hold off Eliquis for 2-3 days. I'm on a very low dose. When I had dental surgery (three extractions) last Spring, it was the same recommendation.

Appreciated your comments and was surprised that my cardiologist didn't see a reason to hold off the Rx. I did have major dental surgery twice within in 6 months recently . Not an issue the first time but the second time a few weeks ago , I had some issues in my mind. Also, I had major foot surgery about a year ago ...(I may have noted that in my prior comments) -- my cardiologist said the opposite.
