Can Dulcolax Be Taken While On Eliquis?

My husband and I take care of my 82 year old fatherinlaw who has heart issues and dementia. This evening he has been stopped up and seen some bleeding. He recently started Eloquis. I know I need to contact the dr in the morning over the concerns, but I was wondering if he could take dulcolax for now

Hello,

The bleeding problem may be due to piles or hemorrhoids. According to my experience, Dulcolax would not be a problem. But kindly take a nearby doctor visit.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
