Eliquis and baby aspirin

[deAblo]

Anyone on Eliquis and baby aspirin as well. Cardio has just added the baby aspirin

[rosyG]

aspirin is usually to stop platelets clumping too much!

Why? Do you have cardiac artery disease or a stent or artificial valve? Here in UK aspirin is little used in AF unless there are other reasons.

[deAblo in reply to BobD]

yes I have CAD as well but no stent required as blood flow is good

Hi deAblo

When I had migraine aura post ablation the doctor recommended taking aspirin with Apixaban for the pain associated with migraine ( in my case the pain was mild to non-existent), but I declined for fear of increasing the risk of intracranial bleeding. I managed fine without it. I think it's important always to query the purpose of a prescription, it turned out I didn't really need it.

Been on both for a year and a half, no problems.
