Can Alcohol Be Consumed While On Eliquis?
I am taking Eliquis. I began more than a year ago and have no side effects. I can not find much information on the use of alcohol with Eliquis. I regularly have one glass of wine each night Mon-Friday. On Saturday I may have 3 or 4 at a family gathering. What is my risk?

It is better to avoid alcohol while on Eliquis.
Eliquis might react with alcohol and cause a severe reaction including disulphiram reaction.
