 I'm still going for it, even with higher stroke risk from atrial fibrillation and a regular heartbeat not caused by a heart valve problem. Over a three-year study, Eliquis Apixipan tablets reduced stroke risk better than Warfarin. And over 97% of Eliquis patients did not experience a stroke. A first stroke occurred in 2.9% of Warfarin patients versus 2.3% of Eliquis patients. Don't stop taking prescription Eliquis without asking your doctor. It may increase your stroke risk.
