• Missed dose: If a dose of ELIQUIS® (apixaban) is not taken at the scheduled time, the dose
should be taken as soon as possible on the same day and twice-daily administration should
be resumed. The dose should not be doubled to make up for a missed dose

If you're taking apixaban or dabigatran twice a day and you miss one of your doses, you should take it as soon as you remember if it's still more than 6 hours until your next scheduled dose. If it's less than 6 hours until your next dose, skip the dose you missed and take the next scheduled dose as normal.

So it appears the risk is towards taking 2 doses and not in missing a dose.

One solution so that this isn't likely to happen....get a daily pill box. Fill it up once/week and then you can see if you took a pill on that day or not.
Only takes a few minutes to fill.
Good luck Barb

Maybe that’s why in Europe they use individual pill vacuum blister packs I speculate. I could be wrong

I think missing one dose is reasonably safe as long as you are not in AF.
