Detailed Answer:
Hi,
If you are having rash by taking Eliquis, I would suggest you to meet your treating doctor for alternative medicine.
For relieving the side effect you can take over the counter antihistamines such as Diphenhydramine, Hydroxyzine such as Benadryl/ Atarax respectively twice daily for 2 to 3 days.
