Can't be much help as I'm on warfarin. However I couldn't put up with severe hair loss....far too vain I'm afraid.....can you ask to change to a different drug ?

I’ve thought my hair is thinner since starting Apixaban but haven’t had severe hair loss
I found my hair was getting brittle on warfarin and is better on apixaban, but we're all different. Try another NOAC.
I started on Apixaban over a year ago, and from the first week became distressed with the amount of hair I was losing. However, after about 6 months it became less and now I think the hair loss is back to a normal rate.
In the meantime, I coped by using a dry shampoo spray to thicken my hair.
Hi. I found that when I first started taking Eliquis. A pharmacist suggested I try a protein supplement called Hair Jelly. I took a 3 month course and found it really helped.
I have to say since staring Apixiban nearly two years ago I too have noticed a thinning of my hair although because I usually have a No two on my head the hair loss is not that obvious.
Been on apixaban for 4 years no hair loss
Hairloss can be a symptom of a lack of zinc.
Keep in mind anesthesia also causes hair loss as well. So I have had 2 abrasions under general anesthesia so that adds insult to the problem as well. I take hair,skin and nails daily which has made a difference.
