Hi.
This is considered to be safe medication and this is new version of martefarin and eliquis has less side effects and complications. So it should not be problematic to travel and it will certainly reduce risk of stroke. It may cause some increased risk or bleeding after trauma but this is minor risk. Wish you good health. Regards

Hi
Detailed Answer:
Digoxin and metoprolol may have some side effect since these act on your heart function,but all other medications are not concerning and it won't bother you during the trip. Considering recent stroke,it is wise to take these medications since it will make your heart work better and reduce blood thrombosis. just have some a antihistamine with yourself in case if allergy.
