"My wife can’t do aspirin due to stomach issues."

If all else fails, she might try a buffered aspirin. Coated aspirin break down in the intestines, not in the stomach causing the usual problems.

Look at Vazalore (liquid aspirin in a capsule). I had to take large doses of aspirin when my covid vaccine micro clots was diagnosed. I was able to cut back to low dose but still had aspirin problems. I tried Vazalore for awhile but that just moved the problem to the lower tract. Gave my stomach time to heal though.

I found a study that showed low dose aspirin every third day worked. It has worked for me but I have normally thin blood.

Not nearly as effective either

Eliquis and Xarelta are both top tier drugs in their class

I get mine from Vanderbilt pharmacy which offers subsidized

I’m not sure how it works via that program honestly

I do know Medicare front loads costs first of year up to 2000+/-

After that zip

I hit it by march

Repatha
Trelegy
Cosentyx

All $$&& too

Eliquis at 2.5 a day causes me extreme bruising and cutting etc

I mean I barely bump a door jam

My wife takes twice my dose and half my weight and zero side effects

Good luck

This is something your doctors office should handle
