Question : I am wondering if Vitamin K Supplement is good for helping stop minor bleeding. I am taking Eliquis for an irregular heart. Will hurt to take Vitamin K ?
Brief Answer:
Hello dear. You should nkt take vit k.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear. I have gone through the details. So elliquis effect is not neutralised by vitamin k so there is no benefit in taking vitamin k if minor bleeding occurs on elliquis. If bleeding occurs, you just have to stop elliquis and report to your physician immediately. Moreover, you should not afraud using elliquis as the incidence of bleeding is uncommon and the drug is beneficial in preventing a stroke as you have irregular heartbeat.
Thanks and regards
