Eliquis will help prevent new clots, but it doesn’t break down clots that have already formed.
I am well aware of that, having been on it for a couple of years.
My point is that in three weeks they will find the clots haven’t changed. This means that you need to continue to keep the blood flowing through the clogged vein without turbulence. It’s the “tumbling” that creates the clots after a DVT.
