Hi, I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.
I suppose you are talking about Eliquis and not Eliquist. Eliquis is a blood thinner and is used for purpose of anti-coagulation.
As such there are no contraindications of it's use in powder form, but still it is best to take it in tablet form because, in powder form it may get stick in the oral cavity or throat and you may achieve the lesser therapeutic levels.
This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you still have any other query, you may please ask me.
Stay Healthy.
