- Advertising suggests the oral anti-coagulant Eliquis offers significant advantages over warfarin in preventing stroke and bleeding. Actually the differences between the two drugs appear rather modest except in cost. The cash price of Eliquis is about $15 a day which translates to more than $5000 a year compared to a paltry $48 a year for warfarin. Additionally bleeding associated with warfarin can be rapidly reversed with vitamin K; bleeding from Eliquis has no antidote.
I am not capable of becoming a "doctor", but I am capable of knowing when they are lying to me, so I'm glad to find an "honest" doctor. Thanks
... the doctors all seem to have a different agenda ... they never seem to agree on much ... so can you trust them? ... or they just making their charge for an office visit ???
Thank you for taking the time to interpret all of the data and present it to us in an understandable format
My Dad was one of the incredibly unlucky ones who got a hemorrhagic stroke on warfarin.
Very thought-provoking!
I do not have factor five
In the 70s I was 14 after car accidents blood clots to both lungs but at that time they didn’t know what was going on
At age 27 I had more clot to the lungs. All there was for treatment was warfarin. It’s on record that it did cause me to have clots I made the decision for over 10 years not to be on blood thinners.
In 2010 I clouded up from the IVC Vein down to both legs and feet - I now have stents over half my body
At this point, I had to go back on warfarin, which causes blood clots inside the stents I was fortunate that they got the clots out. I didn’t want to live at this point, and I was put on put Pradaxa which saved my life.
Insurance company made me switch to Eliquis. Mentally it’s been really tough because Pradaxa has kept me from having any blood clots. Now I’m on Eliquis and scared to death.
The FDA are not fit for purpose.
Been on Eliquis since 2019, love it.
Thank you so much for this information . This information needs to be shared with anyone who is being advised to go on eloquis . Just the lack of an antidote seems like an argument against it even when it goes generic . The advantage in reduced deaths is very small .
I have a prothrombin mutation, or factor 2. Had my first stroke at 56, second stroke 6 months later and was diagnosed with CHF. I am being treated with Eliquis and did not have to stop taking it when my crt-icd was implanted
Thank you.
I had a fib they gave me eliquis took it for a year or so but I hated the co pay and after talking to doctors and pharmacist I switched to warfarin had a few problems and asked my doctors if should go back to eliquis they all said NO warfarin was best for me , the question is why did they give me eliquis in the first place ??? But I know why they said warfarin in best that’s because they know about it warfarin has a long predictable history it took a while to get dosage right and getting blood tests every month is no problem neither is diet that’s my story
18:23 : If you need emergency surgery you have to wait 24 to 48 hours for the Eliquis to wear off because they don't have anything to reverse it, with Warfarin, they do!!!
They do now
They have an antidote now.
... my dr got me back on warren two days before stopping eliquest ...
Hello Doctor Landow,
awesome video with lot of explanation, Thank you for all your work on all of those topics, i love yourvideos, they deserve way more views.
Me, 37yo male 77kg am in good health, have a DVT due to an broken foot.
have a lot of sideeffects on Eliquis.
I want to change to Warfarin/Marcumar in EU.
How do i go about disolving the bloodcloth/thrombus so i can get of this bloodthinning drugs in the near future?
Ive heard about bromelain, nattokinase but they all thin the blood even further...
How would YOU go about it if you had tis problem?
Been on eliquis since 2022 after my pulmonary embolism.. seems to work well
I was on xarelto switch from warfarin. What a relief though expensive . It was out of stock so had to take Rivelto. I am having bad reaction tingling all over left side of body and was about to switch back to xarelto when cardiologist suggested Eliquis. Hence research. If It has the side effects I’m reading may as well stick to xarelto
I'm on Eliquis 5mg 2x daily for Afib. I've requested my HCP to take me off and I'll be going on Coumadin. After thinking about it I may refuse any anticoagulants. This is BIG PHARMA'S DREAM! I HATE THAT!!
why were you on blood thinner in the first place? The only person you are screwing is yourself.
Just Joan: How are you doing on Warfarin a year later?
Just Joan, like Mi Sha, I too would like to hear how you're doing now.
Just Joan, did you stay on Eliquis or switch to Warfarin?
I would love to have an update on how you are doing @Just Jone .
I want to make an appointment to see this doctor
I have been taking penicillin since 2020 and I appreciate your video I have pulled away from eliquis and it has ate the inner stomach lining up. I am trying like heck to get my stomach to work I am going to take no more blood thinner do I live or do I die the bleeding was very bad and I'm sure that dying is not that painful
The only opening on my head that was not bleeding or my ears and my eyeballs 👀
Mine was an aorta valve, and I'm not sorry I did the surgery but I've learned
Thank god I'm in Canada. I'm on Eliquis and it's less than $100 per month up here. Yes Warfarin is cheaper, but you have to get your blood levels checked monthly. What a pain in the ass. With Eliquis I have a brief conversation with my doc once a year and get a renewal. I also have had zero side effect with the singular exception of slight gum bleeding once in a while. Maybe once or twice a month. NBD
Britt, may I ask if you are still doing good on Eliquis? Any problems? I am supposed to start it but it sure scares me!
@@amberj6760
Hi Amber. Sorry I just saw this as I don't have notifications turned on!
As of this month I'm on a generic Apixaban. Which is great because that cut the cost in half.
As far as tolerance goes - still no problems at all. A bit of gum bleeding and have to keep booze consumption down (as it too is a blood thinner). But no other side effects.
@@BrittSBaker Britt, Thanks for the reply! I have to bite the bullet and start it so I can get a cardioversion.
I was prescribed it for afib.
I’m a Nurse working in Stroke Unit , Doctors don’t prescribe Warfarin anymore ( because of that weekly /monthly blood test).What they tend to do now is to give high dose of Apixaban around 10mg for several days (early stages of stroke) then taper it down to 5mg once the patient is in stable condition. And they also give 5mg for patients with Atrial Fibrillation to prevent stroke.
My mom was on blood thinner went over a year losing blood getting blood transfusions, dies from complications due to colon issues. Fast forward 7 years my 81 year old neighbor just got told he is bleeding somewhere and should have a colonoscopy, taking Eliquis🤷♀️
Me tpp
Thank you Dr. LANDAU
This drug made me very tired and weak. I am talking about a massive feeling of fatigue.
Me too. And nausea.
This drug makes me weak as well so Tired 😴 all the time
@@tonytierra206 5 1/2 years ago lost 90 lb. 3 mo. ago, went to hospital 10 days with AFib and had a pacemaker installed and given Eliquis. Wondered why I seemed to feel weaker at my normal of 160-162 lb. Moved weight up a couple to 3 pounds and seem to feel better. Will be chatting with the Cardiologist tomorrow and see where we go from here. Not sure about Warfarin as some have issues with it. My wife with having to have a few ablations for A flutter could not use Eliquis but is on something else. We are both later in life seniors, she later than me. Thank goodness we have universal health care and our cost for medications is a $100 annual per person fee plus $3 per 3 month prescription. Health insurance is part of Provincial income tax and $900 annually. Hope you figure it out and can get stronger.
phlotographer: I saw a recent video by Dr Ford Brewer, who said that Warfarin causes calcification in the arteries where you don’t want it to be. He recommended taking D3 with K2 in order to sweep calcium into bone, muscle and teeth where it does belong.
@@orithfrankel2151 TY. I will have to check about K2 but currently both of us take 2000 IU of D3 and have done so for a number of years. I am a bit delayed perhaps in responding as I changed my default browser to Brave and don't seem to be getting notifications. Likely have to check with them to see if there is a setting I have not checked to create that function.
I had a weird fluke DVT when i rolled my ankle a few years ago. Got tested for a zillion potential causes of how or why, 0 explanations discovered. Couldnt walk. Got on elliquis for 90 days, was 100% normal after 3 days. Had 0 side effects the entire time, toward the end i cut myself pretty good working in the garage and was like uh oh.... literally was like any other cut. Didnt bleed really any more or less than a regular cut wouldve
In India Eliquis price is rs.75 per tablet. But Indian company NATCO launched APIGAT at rs.24 only per tab.
Well now we can reverse 🔄 with Andexxa so which would you chose if cost was not an issue ?
Long term use of PPIs can also lead to iron deficiency anemia.
I'm 67 years old and am supposed to be taking 2 - 5mg. apixaban a day. I had bladder cancer but have been clear for 2 months. I can only take 2.5 mg. a day or I still start to piss blood but my stroke symptoms have stopped. I had the Carotid artery repaired but the partial blockage is in between my right eye and the artery. I was loosing partial vision but when it starts, I shake my head and it clears up. You might say that they botched the surgery. When I was in the MRI they should've checked to the eye part of the brain but they didn't.
Scary information--has this changed? I just was prescribed Eliquis for A-Fib and I did protest the price. I wanted to go on Warfarin. I am a former nurse and I hope you will see this and reply. I live in Washington, DC. Thank you!
Hi Jennifer, may I asked if you began Eliquis and how you are doing on it? It has been prescribed for me and they sure scare me.
After open heart surgery...
1 stint
1 BY-PASS
Atrial valve replacement
A huge Embolism repaired in upper chamber..
Cardiovascular Dr. Prescribed ELIQUIS,
$1784 for 90 days, that almost put me back in the ER, LOL.
Taking WARFIN now $4 a month.
The "CARDIOLOGIST " SHOULD watch this Video and quit talking "BRIBES "
They put me on Eloquis as I took too much allebuterol for my asthma .. I don't have AFib.. I have broken out in a rash and no one will listen to me !
I have been to a terrible dermatologist doctors .. and ER twice .. no one will take me off so I'm taking myself off it and I'm tired all of the time .. bruising .. I am off this awful medication!
Thank you. Could you do an update now that there is an antidote for Eliquis? People can register for a copay card to save money for 48 months. Copay is $10 a month.
No for medicare recipients
OMG. How?? Need this. On Medicare.
@@georgiayoung9124 www.eliquis.bmscustomerconnect.com/afib/savings-and-support
There’s a form or number to fill out for $10 copay good for 2 years.
Just looked up eligibility:
Co-pay Card
ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS:
You may be eligible for the Co-pay Card for ELIQUIS® (apixaban) if:
You are insured by commercial insurance and your prescription insurance coverage does not cover the full cost of your prescription, that is, you have a co-pay obligation for ELIQUIS;
You do not have prescription insurance coverage through a state or federal healthcare program, including but not limited to Medicare Part D, Medicaid, Medigap, Veterans Affairs (VA), or Department of Defense (DOD) programs; patients who move from commercial plans to state or federal healthcare programs will no longer be eligible;
You are 18 years of age or older; and
You are a resident of the United States or Puerto Rico.
but if you're on Medicare, or not destitute, you don't qualify for the discount
Need coupons
14:17 It seems if you're going have a DVT clot pulled out the doctors I have spoken with want you on Eliquis for at least a month. The possible catastrophic bleeding is very scary though.
There’s more information here then your Dr. has time for.
Have been taking warfarin since 20.09 due to my CVA so far so good I’m alright no problem @ all , only thing goin Lab not often really that depend on your diet of green veg, ; so far I’vebeen on warfarin 15 years up to the rest of my life left .
Few people talk about minor procedures in the hospital,must people stop apixoban?
Side effects?
I’ve been taking Eliquis for 6 months, i’m always fatigue no energy at all, i gained 15 lb even with healthy diet, lots of fluid retention, and the period is terrible heavy and long .. i just hate it
Any anemia issues?
Nora, we're you able to get off Eliquis? Did you switch to something better?
Check out everyday health. These meds are nasty. This is the best they can do?
You sound pretty good but what do you do about the none stop bleeding from Eliquis? Do I have a choice to die of loss of blood even 2% is no good , aspirin causes heart palpitations ,sometimes feel like a heart attack, and cause A mental disruption , the ones you mention affect a serious side effect to emotion , mental , physical, warfarin is rat poison.
Thanks for sharing such valuable information it'll help make my discussion making 2 avoid THIS @ ALL COSTS..🙏
Thank you for the good info. Eliquis. My husband contracted COVID which affected his lungs. They say there are blood clots in both lungs that need to be treated His Dr at hospital 🏥 prescribed Eliquis but I'm now learning of the myriad of possible side effects. Is there an antidote now in 2022? The price is steep and the risks are frightening.
Please advice!We need guidance.
There is an antidote now if you want to learn more about it. It’s called Andexxa. All the Best.
E líquido, 2,5 mg
WHat if I cannot take eliquis for a day or two. My insurance got cvancelled asd the new one takes a couple of days to process. So I cannot take it for a couple of days as I cannot afford 500$ for 30 day. Iis it fine? please let me know anyone!
I went to get mom's pills said the insurance isn't paying it because something about deductible. She has to pay 500.She is getting samples from the dr.
In india for 6 dollars you can buy whole months supply of apixaban ,just buy the generic one
That drug is hurting my liver.
Taking water pills. Plus, now seeing Liver Dr.😔!
I'm having some liver issues as well. About to have a ct scan and I'm pretty sure this drug is why.
What issues you had plz, how you doing now? My dad also on elquis and on water pill
Is it safe to break Eliquis in half? Will it cause a stomach ulcer?
My cardiologist put me on eliquis 2 months ago.i dont feel I have all the symptoms that they talk about, .these drs, love pills,probably kick backs, cost over 1400.00 yr. Out of pocket.
How long should it be taken?
For AF . . . Forever.
I never took the ones they perscribed..after falling into a paralytic coma after my kidney was shut down by a new blood pressure perscription called stroke from high blood pressure, not a 1920s bad prohibition booze coma paralysis...
Grew an aortic aneurysm bypass system of the mammary, epigastric, coastal, illiac,femoral arteries and do not need the same surgury that killed my mother..????
One of the side effects of taking eliquis is lowering hemoglobin. My mom gets transfusions. So why would a Dr prescribe her this drug?
To kill her.
In my opinion these Pharmaceutical companies don't care about what the medicine does. They just want the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Where is more info on it lowering hemoglobin?I was hospitalized twice with anemia in two months in 2023. Nearly died.
Eliquis gives me extreme nausea. 😣☹😖🤢
This is an old video. Their are antidotes now for Eliquis. It is a much safer drug to choose
What is the drug?
A@@gladyswilliams804ANDEXXA
Can't afford eliquis
In India Eliquis tab price rs.75 per tab. NATCO pharma APIGAT tab price rs.24 only....
Cost 444.00 per month! I got a free one month coupon. I want to be off of this by January.
Hair is thinning
Me too
Eliquis is of no use to people that suffer from A.P.S. false hope that leads to death if your not observant about clotting issues!!!
Warfarin is RAT
POIS😮ON
Update: There is now an antidote. For example: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andexanet_alfa
