Detailed Answer:

Hello,

Welcome and thank you for asking us.

I passed carefully through your question and would explain that it is safe to take both Nitric oxide and Eliquis concomitantly, because they do not interact with each other.

You should know that Nitric oxide is not a blood thinner. Its main action is vasodilation and the increase in the blood flow to the myocardial muscle. This mechanism leads to the improvement and prevention of myocardial ischemia.

Regarding Eliquis, it is a blood thinner (anticoagulant) used to prevent possible cardioembolic events related to atrial fibrillation.

Hope you will find this answer helpful!

I remain at your disposal for any further questions whenever you need!

Kind regards,

What do you think about taking Viagra once a week 100mg. My blood pressure is OK. Will it conflict with Eliquis? Do you know some supplement that wil help for ED?

Detailed Answer:
Hello again!

Viagra does not interact with Eliquis. So, it is OK to take it once a week, while taking Eliquis.

But, I would not recommend taking nitrates or nitric oxide supplements while taking Viagra, because they both can lead to vasodilation and low blood pressure.

Regarding ED, there are many supplements which you can buy over the counter, containing Zinc, Yohimbine, Ginseng, L-carnitine and other vitamins, but they are not so effective as Viagra.

Hope you will find this answer helpful!

Wishing all the best,

Dr. Iliri
