What Causes Skin Problems And Weight Loss While On Eliquis?
Yes, I have been taking Eliquis for a couple of years. Very few skin problems at first but for last few months it has become almost intolerable. It is driving me crazy. I have lost about 15 pounds during that time and now weigh less than 150 pounds. Could a reduction in the daily dosage help? I take it for AFib.
