How fouou friends turned a life long obsession with practical jokes into a cult hit. Why is our micel strahan soliciting acting advice from the cast of blackh . I sure had a lot on my mind when i gotut of the hospital after a dvt blood clot. Whatbout my family . My lil buddy . And what if this happened again . I was given warfarin in the hospital but i wondered if this was the right treatment for me. Then my doctor told me about eliquis. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the sk of them haening again. Not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots, but eliqs also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Knowing eliquis had both. Turned around my thinking. Dont stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. Eliquis can cause seriouand in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont t take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormamableeding. If you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctoright away if you have tingling, numbss, or muscle weakness. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easi. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like u unusual bising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if youou take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Eliqs treats dvt pe blood clots. Plus hadadess major bleeding. Both made switching to eliquis right for me.
