Blood thinner

Has anyone tries apixaban instead of Warfarin? According to the NHS website it doesn’t need monitoring and you can use Turmeric and CBD OIL at the same time.

I think you may have posted this on the wrong group Magnolia 😊

No, I don’t think so, there has been a lot about warfarin and not being able to take CBD oil

AND Turmeric

ok. I just thought you might get more/relevant answers in a different group other than an RA group.

[Hidden in reply to KittyJ]

Any idea which group?

[KittyJ in reply to Hidden]

I just searched warfarin and there was a recent post in AF association group asking about apixaban. If you use the search box there are quite a few in different groups. It depends what you are prescribed it for I suppose.

I'm on Riveroxaban same type of med and no blood tests, eat what you like. But must carry warning card in case of accident. Been on it 4 years no problems.

Been on rivaroxaban for 3 years - no problems and no side effects.

My husband has heart condition and is on Apxiban which doesn't need regular monitoring, but as someone said in another post you need to carry card. A good thing about this drug is it helps to protect against strokes and blood clots.
