Azkaban and Naproxen
Mind the dementors don't get you. Seriously ignoring the typo do you mean that you want to take apixaban on an ad hoc basis. This is not a good idea. If you need anticoagulation (which is what apixaban is) it should be all the time to prevent stokes..
Thanks for the reply taking the Apixaban is fine it's the naproxen on ad hoc basis unless anyone knows of an alternative to go with apixaban
Are you aware that Naproxen can cause irregular heartbeat ?
And as Naproxen is also an 'NSAID' it can contribute to bleeding. Not a good idea to take when also taking anticoagulants. Ask your cardiac doctor. For me, Aleve (naprosyn) has always been a great med for pain relief. Since I have muscle aches and pains from time to time I hated to give them up. Spoke with my EP and he said best not to take them but if I REALLY need some pain relief VERY OCCASIONALLY-like every 3-4 weeks (not more often) I could take a dose. I only use them when my pains are bad, I can't stay home and take hot showers or baby myself, then I will take a dose to get thru the day and get done what I need to. If I have plans I can change I do that first, stay home, and skip the Aleve. irina1975
It has never been mentioned by gp or consultant
I just take paracetamol for pain as the NAISD are not good with Apixaban- but you must be guided by your doctors
as well as naproxen being pretty much a no no because of taking anticoagulants , NSAIDS are know to be triggers to AF.
and did you ever meet Sirius Black in Azkaban.
