Apixaban

[willcat33]

I'm on apixaban I've been on it for over a year and I get a feeling of heavy legs from the knee down to my ankles and a feeling as though I've been on a mile hike also a burning sensation but my legs feel cold as any one else suffered any side affects

Hi willcat, I’ve been taking apixiban for just under 3 years, and haven’t had any side effects from it. Have you spoken to your specialist about this?

[Jayge in reply to Tofino5]

Were you ever told where to go if you cut yourself and start to bleed heavily? My husband was not told where to get the reversal med.

[Tofino5 in reply to Jayge]

In any emergency you would go to the Emergency Room to be treated.

[Emarho in reply to Jayge]

There is no reversal med for Apixaban, as far as I know.

[Emarho]

Yes. Apixaban caused an ache in the legs which inhibited my walking ability. Dose now reduced to absolute minimum and symptoms have almost gone away.
