Trimix and Eliquis

[Smallfall]

I live in Northern Cali. I've been using Trimix injectable, successfully, for about 2 years. I've been using Eliquis, for atrial flutter, with the trimix, for about 18 months, with no problems. My urologist refuses to renew the trimix because I'm on a blood thinner. Has anyone had this situation and was able to convince their urologist to renew the trimix?

We sympathize with your living in N. Ca.

I have been taking Eliquis and using Trimix for the past 3 years. I do have to be careful to avoid hitting a vein or I sometimes get a hematoma. I do apply pressure in the injection point for at least 2 to 4 minutes. The longer the pressure the less risk of getting a hematoma. If I do get a hematoma it dissipates in about 4 or 5 days. I will ask my urologist thoughts about it the next time I go.
