Flu jab
Having AF tends to make you eligible for the free one (if you aren't already) and I can't imagine (tho am not sure) if those specific medications cause problems with it.
Search Flu jabs top right and you will see this is a common question. Go for it. No problems.
No reasons why not medication wise.
Been on Bisoprolol and anitcoagulant for nearly 4 years and had my flu jab every year - no problems - GP's encourage people wiwth AF to have them. Had my flu jab and the shingles jab (available when you reach 70) together last week. All okay.

If you have had AF then a flu jab is essential no matter what you are on. Real flu can cause swelling of the heart which opens up all sorts of new electrical pathways causing AF, not all of which close after the virus is beaten.
I am on Riveroxoban (anticoagulant) Bisoprolol and other drugs and I always have a flu jab. If you are unsure check with your G.P or even a Chemist Dispenser. I know I am fine and I am on similar drugs to you but always best to check with those who know your medical history or the drugs concerned. Riveroxoban and Edoxaban are both selective fXa-inhibitors, in other words they do the same job.
