I meant to ask people about Apixaban. I have been put on Apixaban after years of being on warfarine because of my AF. It may sound like a funny question. But my lips have become very red. Has Anyone else had the same? Rienij xx

Could be due to blood flow and the lips having a good sauce if blood vessels combined with the job the Apixaban does

Must do a different or maybe better job than warfine? X

Could very well do Seeing as it works differently No bloods no change in dosage or diet

Save you a fortune on lipstick!

My gums bleed a bit when I brush my teeth, but I still need lippy!

Hopefully it’s nothing to worry about, but always check with pharmacist if unsure. Maybe you’ve discovered a new side effect???
