Speak to your pharmacist but I am not aware of any problems with apixaban unlike warfarin which is affected by antibiotics.

Thanks I’ve looked on line and some sites say it can cause bleeding 🙀so I will check pharmacy

I take apixaban and my GP prescribed antibiotics. I didn't have any problems.

That’s reassuring thanks

It depends on which Antibiotics- I looked into this when I needed them and one was fine but Clarythromycin was a definite NO NO!! Look at the info sheet with the tablets but also ask the pharmacist to look up whatever you are prescribed when you take the prescription in

That’s a great help thanks will do that 😊

Not medically trained, but I was told by my dentist that amoxycillin was OK but no idea if it would help with sinusitus....always best to check with your pharmacist.....
