I wish there were an alternative to Eliquis (apixaban). My bank account wishes the same thing.
A generic exists. FDA approved it a long time ago. It was supposed to be available to the public next month. But PFIZER had it extended it to November 2026. As if PFIZER isn’t making enough money with their clot shots,
It is ironic (maybe criminal?) that Pfizer creates a drug that CAUSES blood clots, and also a drug that dissolves blood clots.
You are mandated to take the clot-creating shot — FREE. You can be charged around hundreds of dollars a month for the drug-dissolving shot.
Xarelto is a direct substitute, working on the same factor Xa.
It might be cheaper for you, but it’s not yet available as a generic.
