running out of Apixaben

I have made a miscalculation going onto this new drug 4 days before they run out and have only 1 tablet left - my pharmasist assures me that they will be available today.

I have Afib, and have already had a stroke. Although some years ago.

Worst case scenario and they don't arrive today, can I substitute wafarin until they arrive.

Any one else been this stupid!!!

Hello :-)

You are not stupid at all

Fingers crossed though that you meds are there later for you to get and if not I think this is a question you would need to ask the pharmacist or your Doctor as they could only advise you what to do

Let us know how you get on :-) x

we’ve all done it! I expect your pharmacist is used to this and as BeKind says,, ask them!
