Side effect of Eliquis

[yzmd]

When taking the anticoagulant Eliquis for AFib, how common is abdominal pain as a side effect?

I take eliquis apixaban and been on it since about 2017 and no pains. Perhaps it is something else snd maybe a visit to your doctor for a check up. I hope you feel better soon

I'm not taking any anticoagulants, but I'm sure others on the Forum have previously mentioned this side effect. Perhaps you can use the Search 🔍 option at the top to investigate previous Posts ...

Digestive problems with the "ban" anticogulant family are not as bad as with Pradaxa but still happen . Many people have no side effects at all. Others are not so lucky. I get bloating , reflux and worse joint pain with the full dose of Apixaban. Only occasional abdominal pain so that might be caused by something else. I do not regard Apixaban as "my best friend " as many here do but as "the pink poison".

I think all anticoagulants can upset the stomach. Some of us have to take medication to protect the stomach lining, so see your GP.

I am only on 2.5 mg twice a day, and haven’t noticed any side effects.

I have been taking Eliquis for over 8 years & never had that side effect

I have IBS but Eliquis doesn’t bother me one bit.

Hello,

I have had stomach problems since taking Eliquis (Apixaban) 5 ml, plus Lanzoprazole . Have felt better since stopping the Lanzoprazole, even though it was prescribed to protect my stomach against stomach problems with Apixaban.

what I find concerning is that there are those who have been hospitalized with intestinal bleeding who were on eliquis, pradaxa and other like meds. If you are having abdominal pain and taking eliquis, it might be good to have it checked out to make sure it's nothing serious.
