Is Ibuprofen Advisable While On Eliquis For A Blood Clot In The Leg?
I was in the ER this past Monday for a superficial blood clot but they put me on Eliquis because it was so close to my main artery in my upper leg and they didn t want it to get any farther. So I am taking 10 mg of Eliquis in the am and 10 mg in the evening for 7 days and then going down to 5 mg in the am and 5 mg in the evening. This blood clot really hurts and I was wondering if I can just take 1 200 mg pill of ibuprofen to get alittle relief while I sleep
