Talk to your local pharmacist who is qualified to advise.

Can I endorse that. Pharmacists have a lot of expertise and like to use their knowledge.

Yes you can take apixiban and cocodamol. I take apixaban and routinely take prescription Cocodamol. I am also a nurse specialist. Cocodamol contains paracetamol and codiene. Apixaban is an anticoagulant and you should generally avoid taking other drugs that can also thin the blood such as nsaid's and asprin. Unless of course prescribed by a physician. Hope this helps.
