Is Eliquis Safer Than Xarelto?
I have a friend who is taking Xaralto for blood clots. I have heard from friends who lost a relative due to excessive internal bleeding after a common operation. My friend is also on Xaralto for blood clots. I stopped taking the Xaralto when I heard the bad reports. I was thinking of advising my friend to switch to Eliquis (or Apixaban) but wanted to know if it also has bad reports on usuage. Depending on any bad reports I too might think of using Eliquis myself.

Hello,
In recent studies, Eliquis is better than warfarin in preventing strokes while also reducing the risk of bleeding. I also recommend using Eliquis as a preferred medication.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
