You don’t take any NSAIDs (Aspirin, Aleve, Advil, Voltaren, even Pepto Bismol)with blood thinners..not even grapefruit or CBDs.

I took Xarelto then the doctor switched me to Eliquis but I was told not to take any Ibuprofen....nothing was said about Aspirin and I’ve stayed away from that forever anyway because of the damage it can do to a stomach. Now I take Tylenol if I have a headache. I always thought it was pretty ineffective before this but it seems to be ok.

There is a blood thinner with ZERO cost (Jantoven) and I did take that for awhile but it required getting the weekly blood test. I dislike all of it - it may be effective at avoiding strokes but the bleeding under the skin if your arms or hands even come close to hitting a door or wall is really annoying. I look like I’ve been beaten up.

“”grapefruit””

Is that true? I eat grapefruit - am on Eliquis - but I never heard that before.

I don’t like grapefruit anyway, but have been told for years not to take anything but Tylenol, which I never take anyway

A small dose of gabapentin for neuropathy, which takes care of some minor aches and pains

Never really tried cbd. My state only allow the weak stuff, so I never saw a point in it

That’s what I was told, too. On Eliquis.
