Eliquis is a medication containing the active ingredient apixaban. It belongs to a class of drugs known as anticoagulants or blood thinners. Eliquis helps prevent blood clots from forming by inhibiting certain clotting proteins in your blood. This medication is suitable for individuals who need to reduce their risk of stroke and blood clots due to conditions like atrial fibrillation or after hip or knee replacement surgery.
About Eliquis
Dosage and usage
For most conditions, the typical dosage of Eliquis is 5 mg taken orally twice a day. Your healthcare provider may adjust this dosage based on your specific medical needs. It's important to take Eliquis exactly as prescribed to ensure its effectiveness. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it's almost time for your next dose. In case of an overdose or if you experience unusual bleeding or bruising, seek medical help immediately.
What Eliquis contains
Each Eliquis tablet contains 5 mg of apixaban as the active ingredient. The tablet also includes excipients like lactose monohydrate, microcrystalline cellulose, croscarmellose sodium, and magnesium stearate. These components help maintain the tablet's stability and aid in its absorption in your body.
Side effects
Common side effects of Eliquis may include easy bruising, nosebleeds, nausea, and minor bleeding. Serious side effects that require immediate medical attention include prolonged bleeding, black or bloody stools, and signs of a stroke such as sudden numbness or weakness. If you experience any severe allergic reactions like rash, itching, or swelling, seek medical help promptly.
Precautions
Eliquis is not suitable for individuals with artificial heart valves or those at high risk of bleeding. If you have a history of stomach ulcers, liver or kidney disease, or are pregnant, consult your healthcare provider before using Eliquis. People with certain heart conditions, such as valve problems, should use Eliquis cautiously. Additionally, inform your doctor about all medications you are taking, especially other blood thinners, to prevent potential interactions.

Very good
I've twice been a customer of this company and been very satisfied. Be aware the consultation process is specific and probing. It may have been the product I needed but in my case the questions were extensive. This is reassuring in view of the growing hysteria surrounding the practice of buying medicines online, to say nothing of the activities of some fairly dubious forces trying to put a stop to it, though things do move quickly once you're request is approved, with despatch and delivery of a discreetly packaged item taking place within a couple of days more often than not. Frankly I'm glad they're there and with GPs proving ever more intractable because of arbitrary, unexplained and ever more draconian ’clinical guidelines’ I suspect others will be too. A satisfied customer happy to recommend the service.

Your company has helped me stay well.
Your company has helped me stay well.When I have infections and it’s difficult to get medication. I can always rely on Dokteronline. My husband was poorly with covid and the gp would only issue him one lot of antibiotics and he was getting worse, because he had asthma. The medication I gave him from yourselves made all the difference and he was feeling better within two days. He’d been ill for three weeks. Thankyou for your great service would have been lost without you at times
