Question : I take eliquis as a blood thinner as I had a post operative embolism. I read that difficulty swallowing is a side effect and I have been having a slight difficulty swallowing for about two weeks. Is there cause for concern?
Brief Answer:
Dysphagia is one of the side effect usually reduced with use
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for your query.
I shall make an effort to provide you with good professional recommendations specific to your questions.
Dysphagia that is difficulty in swallowing in one of the side effect of this agent.
But it decreases with the use, should not pose any problem as such. But if it is worsening I would suggest you to see consulting doctor and also I would suggest you not to alter or skip the dose without consulting doctor.
Yet again, I duly appreciate your query to me, I do hope that have found something useful to help you and I shall be glad to answer any further apprehensions.
Sincerely,
