Apixaban v. Edoxaban which is best for stroke prevention

[Beta44]

I’ve just been asked by my GP to switch from Apixaban to Edoxaban. Apparently my local commissioning group have negotiated better terms for this drug which would save about £200 pa for each patient switched. Anyone got any experience with Edoxaban? I have been happily on Apixaban for about 5 years now and I am reluctant to switch if I am likely to experience any adverse effects. Apparently the normal NHS price is about £800pa for both so a significant saving.

Thanks for any help,

Peter

Good morning Peter,

Thank you for your post, it is a very interesting question.

I think it may be a good idea for you to post this question on our sister charity AF Association's Health Unlocked page healthunlocked.com/afassoci...

Everybody on this page has AF and experience with anticoagulants.

I hope this helps!

Best Wishes,

Charlene
