Eliquis is ZERO cost for us via Humana Medicare advantage plan.

But you have to give up your other insurance to be on Medicare Advantage?

Eliquis nearly killed my sister. She almost bled to death. They told her most people don’t make it as low as her hemoglobin was. The hospital said they see a patient a week be admitted from taking Eliquis.

I’m sure it’s got its place, be be careful and keep an eye on your symptoms.

Couldn’t Eliquis be used to counteract blood clot problems caused either by COVID or the shot?

Better watch the price controls, FJB, or nobody will be able to get it.

My mother (RIP) took Plavix after a stent was placed in her. That stuff was awful to her. She would get a nosebleed that wouldn’t stop and would have to go to the emergency room for it.

Good. I paid $70.00 for 180 tablets (90 day supply @twice a day) last week.

That’s cheap, but anything cheaper than that would be just fine.

Biden is bragging that he reduced insulin to $35 a vial, but I have been buying Novalin for several years now @$25 a vial at WalMart with no prescription.

I was reading up on Low Dose Naltrexone and saw a comment that it is used as blood thinner in Japan. I really like this drug and what it can do for you. Does anyone in Japan know if it is used for a blood thinner there? The info was not from a medical journal so not sure it is accurate.

Clots in the lungs.

The Dr just put my husband on Jardiance. 3 month supply was right at $640something. I asked our pharmacy how much a one month supply would be? They told me $3,000some odd dollars! To say I was shocked would be an understatement. All I could get out of my mouth was: what kind of math is that? Needless to say the person couldn’t give me an answer. smh
