Question: I recently started taking Eliquis (apixaban) after experiencing a DVT and PE. I’m concerned about how it interacts with other medications. Can you offer any insight? Also, if I switch to a different anticoagulant in the future, should I be concerned about different interactions? Answer: Yes, certain drugs can interact and cause anticoagulants to be less effective. Other medicines may also increase the risk of complications such as bleeding. Be sure to check with your doctor and/or phar
