Thanks for starting this thread as I am on Eliquis after coming off Warfarin. I hated the Warfarin due to bruising & blood draws to check my INR. I was using Warfarin to be eligible for a kidney transplant because it is reversible when surgery has to happen quickly, as in a transplant. But I was removed from the transplant list because they thought I wasn’t a good surgical risk. So now just on peritoneal dialysis at home 5 nights per week & back to Eliquis. Since it is late in the year, all my meds are no cost due to meeting a cost threshold in my Medicare Advantage plan. I may need the lower cost options mentioned in the thread next year so this is also a bookmark.

Best of luck in your search for a lower cost option & Merry Christmas!

Thanks, sorry about your kidney.
I lost my favorite nephew because he was not a good candidate for a kidney transplant. (That and COVID)
Your plight hits home with me.
