Apixaban and Cataracts

[Carnationmac]

Just out of curiosity did anyone have to stop their Apixaban before their cataract operation. Thank you. 😊

I take warfarin and didn’t have to stop it, but to make sure i’d check with your consultant. Good luck with the surgery.

Hello, you may have to stop taking the Apixaban before cataract surgery. However, it is best to ask your consultant for advice as this can vary depending on your medical history. Wishing you all the best.
