Switched From Xarelto To Eliquis

Updated

My mom was switched from Xarelto to Eliquis (2.5mg x 2 daily) 4 days ago. Since then, she has experienced itchy eyes, runny nose, trouble sleeping and heavy phlegm at night. Is there a connection? Or is it a cold?

Hello, Jack! How is your mom doing?

Yes, the FDA does list those as being possible side effects of Eliquis, she may also experience nausea, dizziness, headache, and easy bruising.

That's not to say she may not also have a cold, though.

Is there anything else I can help with?

Thanks, Verwon. Since then, the symptoms have gone away. Her MD mentioned it could be just transitional.
