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?

Hello,

It is better to avoid alcohol while on Eliquis.

Eliquis might react with alcohol and cause a severe reaction including disulphiram reaction.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
