I take Eliquis and have had a colonoscopy done with heparin bridging. The heparin is an easy injection you can do yourself and it only lasts for about 4 hours. The pharmacy will give you pre-filled syringes. I stopped my Eliquis a couple of days before and then used Heparin right up to the morning of the colonoscopy.Quote

I was told by Dr that will perform my Colonoscopy that I have to stop Eliquis three days before procedure.
I had my LAA ablated and need to take Eliquis. I am very concerned being off for three days not sure what to do.
Thanks
Mike
