I have been takin apixaban since early December 2020, and since the end of the year I have had almost constant indigestion (and gas). Antacid prescription meds haven't worked. I have been advised by a medical expert to change to Edoxaban as it's not loaded with lactose.
Anyone else experience the same and made a switch?
I had stomach issues with Dabigatran and changed to Edoxaban which has resolved my issues - and has the benefit of being only once a day.
Issues with Pradaxa so moved to Apixaban- no further problems but it is all very individual how we react. Hope it works for you.
Hi....I had the opposite, Edoxaban causing stomach problems (gas). I was changed to Apixaban 5mg twice daily & so far ok 👍.....all the best!!

I always take a little something with my pills, say a cookie or a few almonds etc.Have you seen this ;
I have not had indigestion feelings. But I need to eat with Apixaban. And that means a proper meal like with cheese or similar or I get a gnawing pain. It’s really important to eat with Apixaban. For some people I think ironically you could be at risk of a stomach bleed if you don’t.
Thanks to all for your advice. I have taken Apixaban with my meals and that did make a marginal improvement. So I will try the Edoxaban with it’s lower/no lactose.
You need lansoprazole from doctors nothing wrong with apixaban.ive been taking them for 7years .I have no stomach problems.i did for 3 months before I had them .felt like someone sitting on my chest.all my problems were caused by dehydration and 10 blood clots.
Edoxaban to Apixaban.
Apixaban or Edoxaban
Edoxaban or Apixaban.
Can Apixaban and Edoxaban cause urinary retention ?
