Hi,

I understand your concern.

It is a bit difficult to what blood thinner med to use. This is because there is not sufficient research data.

However, from what has been studied so far eliquis is safer than warfarin. As for any other new blood thinning medication, it has less side effects than warfarin .


Hope it answered to your original query.
