ELIQUIS may cause serious side effects, including:

blood-drop

Bleeding

ELIQUIS can cause bleeding, which can be serious, and may lead to death. This is because ELIQUIS is a blood thinner medicine that reduces blood clotting. While taking ELIQUIS, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. Be sure to seek medical attention right away if you have signs or symptoms of bleeding, such as unexpected bleeding or bruising, or bleeding that lasts a long time. You may have a higher risk of bleeding if you take blood thinners and take other medicines that increase your risk of bleeding. See below for more comprehensive information you should be aware of about bleeding and ELIQUIS.

Spinal or epidural blood clots (hematoma)

People who take ELIQUIS, and have medicine injected into their spinal and epidural area, or have a spinal puncture, have a risk of forming a blood clot that can cause long-term or permanent loss of the ability to move (paralysis). Learn more about the risk of developing an epidural blood clot while taking ELIQUIS.

Do not take ELIQUIS if you:

  • Currently have certain types of abnormal bleeding
  • Have had a severe allergic reaction to apixaban or any of the ingredients in ELIQUIS
