Apixaban supplies

[Finvola]

Just a reminder that there might be delays getting Apixaban in some places, so it might be advisable to get repeat requests in a bit earlier. My excellent chemist, normally good at juggling, had none at all today. 😟

Thanks for the 'heads up' Finvola. As a matter of interest, what part of the country are you in?

[Finvola in reply to CaroleF]

I'm in Northern Ireland and we have had very little impact from previous shortages of Apixaban and Flecainide. There was a post recently from someone about the same problem.

I've only very recently started to take Apixaban, so hadn't taken notice of previous posts. Will try to find the one you mention - and also ask the pharmacy about current supplies in my area.

It was me that posted the same a few months back. They managed to get me some 2.5mg for me to take instead, obviously twice as many as I'm on 5mg x 2.
