Brief Answer:
Yes you can take ocuvite with eliquis

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns

You are currently taking eliquis as a blood thinner and would like to know if you can also take ocuvite. The answer is yes. Eliquis does not interfere with the vitamin K factors in clotting like coumadin does. You will have no issues with taking the two medications together. The only think we do caution is taking eliquis with anti-inflammatories like naprosyn or ibuprofen as they can cause bleeding.

I hope I answered your question. Please contact us again if you have any additional questions or concerns
