Smackman":
The dermatologist wasn't in today, I will call tomorrow, get this checked out. I know I read that Eliquis can give some a rash, it could be caused by something else, it just is at the same time that I am taking this drug.
Are you in still in AF?

Hopefully I can go into NSR when I get cardioverted, but that wont be until the 16th of Jan., unless they up the date. Even if I do go into NSR can the Eliquis be stopped?

Carey, you should know from experience with knowing Natale procedures- how long (ball park) would someone who had an ablation need to remain on Eliquis?

That I don't understand as Shingles is caused by a virus. I have had it and took oral Valtrex (and anti-viral)--cleared it up in a few days. I think about 1 in 3 get Shingles as we age.Quote

I went to see an NP this morning to check out my rash. This NP looked at it and immediately said that it was Shingles and prescribed a antibiotic cream.

A question is in my mind which I didn't think to ask the doctor and she is gone for the day now. Could the Eliquis cause my immune system to weaken so that is why I got Shingles, and if that is the case, that isn't a good thing.

I don't agree that reducing dosage is not useful as a tool for assessing and ameliorating side effects, especially if there are some benefits to be had with remaining on a particular drug.

I didn't say it has no role, but reducing a dose to what might be an inadequate level would be foolish when there are four perfectly good alternatives available. Also, allergies often don't go away simply because the quantity of allergen is reduced. So if she reduces the Eliquis to a half dose and the rash doesn't go away, that tells you nothing. You still don't know if it's the Eliquis causing it or not.

It is not foolish at all. There are good reasons for preferring Eliquis.

I am over 80, I weigh a few lbs over 132, I weigh 138, my Creatinine is 0.89, the lab value is 0.60 - 88 mg/dl , so I think I should be taking the 2.5 Eliquis .

There is no reversal agent for Xarelto, is that right?

I suggest that you check the price of Andexxa. I show the wholesale acquisition cost of the standard dose regimen is $24,750, and the high-dose regimen is $49,500.
