Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Welcome and thank you for asking HealthcareMagic!

Regarding your concern, I would explain that you can find this drug in two form doses : 75 mg capsule and 150mg capsule.

So, if you are taking 150 mg capsules you can take bottles with 75 mg capsules, in order to take the same dosage without having rests in the bottle.

Otherwise, you can switch to another oral anticoagulant like Apixaban.

You should discuss with your doctor about these options.

Hope to have been helpful!

Kind regards,

Dr.Iliri
