Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My father takes 10 mg of Eliquis per day. He is 14 days out from knee replacement and wants to stop taking prescribed hydrocodone because of side effects.His knee pain is considerably less than post surgery and would like to take ibuprofen if needed. Will this cause increased risk of bleeding? Thank you for your help
