Stopping Eliquis My local paper had the story that stopping Eliquis suddenly causes a rise in clot events, according to some study. Says it should be tapered off. This caught my eye because I have simply stopped the Eliquis when medical procedures have required it. Is this something I need to pay attention to now? https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,194156,194156#msg-194156 Mon, 24 Aug 2026 20:53:14 +0000 Phorum 5.2.23 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,194156,194347#msg-194347 Re: Stopping Eliquis https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,194156,194347#msg-194347 Que AFIBBERS FORUM Sat, 27 Jan 2024 02:42:53 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,194156,194335#msg-194335 Re: Stopping Eliquis https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,194156,194335#msg-194335 Que AFIBBERS FORUM Thu, 25 Jan 2024 23:36:18 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,194156,194310#msg-194310 Re: Stopping Eliquis https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,194156,194310#msg-194310
I think the studies are indicated. Also, the issue is for aspirin.

Folks need to be aware that the statement about CI extending below and above 1.0 only means the result is not statistically significant when the discussion is about something like "odds ratio" as it is in the study under discussion. (Thanks for posting the link, George). CI can be used in various ways.

This means that result is not statistically significant. Many of the CIs include 1.0.]]> GeorgeN AFIBBERS FORUM Wed, 17 Jan 2024 22:30:14 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,194156,194191#msg-194191 Re: Stopping Eliquis https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,194156,194191#msg-194191 packageinserts.bms.com].

I think this is in part driven by liability concerns. After doing some research and talking with my Dr. (5 years ago), I came to the conclusion that the decision to get off anti-coagulants trumps this warning, meaning that if you make the decision to get off, it's not worth not getting off the drug, otherwise you would be stuck on it forever.]]> The Anti-Fib AFIBBERS FORUM Wed, 17 Jan 2024 22:08:08 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,194156,194188#msg-194188 Re: Stopping Eliquis https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,194156,194188#msg-194188 PBqltbook AFIBBERS FORUM Wed, 17 Jan 2024 15:00:57 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,194156,194187#msg-194187 Re: Stopping Eliquis https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,194156,194187#msg-194187
I didn't read either publication rigorously and would expect that I've missed some nuances; however, I'd agree that the local paper may have sensationalized the news.]]> mike111 AFIBBERS FORUM Wed, 17 Jan 2024 04:22:58 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,194156,194171#msg-194171 Re: Stopping Eliquis https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,194156,194171#msg-194171 PBqltbook AFIBBERS FORUM Mon, 15 Jan 2024 03:40:36 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,194156,194164#msg-194164 Re: Stopping Eliquis https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,194156,194164#msg-194164 more clots than might have been the risk prior to taking apixaban or something else in the first place.]]> gloaming AFIBBERS FORUM Sun, 14 Jan 2024 18:50:03 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,194156,194157#msg-194157 Re: Stopping Eliquis https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,194156,194157#msg-194157 Carey AFIBBERS FORUM Sun, 14 Jan 2024 16:48:22 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,194156,194156#msg-194156 Stopping Eliquis https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,194156,194156#msg-194156 PBqltbook AFIBBERS FORUM Sun, 14 Jan 2024 16:13:30 +0000
