Can Eliquis Be Taken While Undergoing Testosterone Therapy?

I am taking oral eliquis tabs at 10mg a day. Can I begin testosterone therapy again? In small dosages. I m 48 yrs old and have always been in weight training. After 10 yrs in the u.s. Army as a Airborne Ranger, I have always and will always keep myself in proper size and conditioning. Thank you

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Eliquis is having Apixaban.
It is newer antiplatelet drug used for prophylaxis in deep venous thrombosis (DVT).
It is safe, having least side effects and drug interactions.
So it can be taken along with testosterone therapy.
Eliquis won't affect testosterone levels and it's effectiveness.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
