Apixaban

Good Afternoon

After a stint in hospital with suspected afib i was placed on 5mg Apixaban to be taken morning and evening

I am also taking Candesartan 8 mg and Bisoprolol 1.25 mg both to be taken once a day

My question is :- I thought saw something about Vitamin K on one of the medications not sure which one which and saying control the leafy greens and salad that contain Vitamin K

However on the new prescription tablets i have just got there is no mention of Vitamin K and green leafy vegetables and salad greens in the leaflet inside the box

Can anyone give me any information please

Thank you in advance

Hi there, the leafy greens issue is a problem for people on warfarin, not the new drugs like epixaban which is one of the great advantages of the new drugs. I’m afraid I don’t recognise the names of your other medications.

Vitamin k2 alongside vit D helps to direct calcium to the bones rather than the arteries. Vit K1 is used in the clotting of blood, which the NOAC - new anti-coagulant treatments are controlling. I believe that’s correct….
