Prescription Advice

Posted on 03/21/2024 5:42:25 PM PDT by Mean Daddy

Got over a three week battle with what my doctor thought was COVID. At the end of the three weeks, I was huffing and puffing after walking up a flight of stairs despite walking four miles a day regularly. I started having what I thought were leg cramps and it turned out that I have a blood clot after seeing the doctor. Yes, I had three vaccinations when they became available and no more. The doctor doesn't think its associated with my recent bout since I wasn't tested.

My question is they put me on Eliquis which is a couple hundred bucks per prescription (30 days). Just got a $10 co-pay but not sure how much will apply. My question is, are people sending their prescriptions to Canada or what other options are there? From what I read, sending them to Canada for fulfillment is legal but not sure how to get started. Canada costs are significantly lower vs. US pharmacy costs.

I’m not a doctor BUT . . . blood thinners will turn you into a hemophilliac type bleeder. They’re fine for short term (like after stents or surgery). Long term, I take nattokinase which has been proven to break up clots. That’s my two cents.

If it was that bad, it's even more important to get it treated early. Obviously, too late for you, but this is a good piece of advice for everyone else. There's a lot of nasty viruses out there. It could be the flu.

I had to go to ER because of nosebleeds, and it cost me $500 for three months. So I had a “Watchman” procedure, which theyry insert into one of the chambers (via angiography, so no chest cutting). It has worked great. Ask your Cardiologist about it. No more Eliquis!

Both are good, reputable pharmacies. Go online and they have instructions for using their website and ordering meds.

Everybody is different I guess, but I have been taking Eliquis twice a day for two and a half years after a stroke, I have had exactly one short nosebleed and that’s it.

See if you can get a discount card from Eliquis.

Cost versus blood clot killing you. You are rolling the dice if you order from India

https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/blogs/voices/quality-control-is-critical-to-the-indian-pharmaceutical-industrys-future-success/

Yes I know many drugs that you get officially from Walgreens etc are made in India but even those have been known to have quality control issues

Also, you are risking confiscation if you order from a foreign source.

I just paid over $800 for 3 months of Eliquis because my deductible hadn’t been meet yet. The rest of the year it’s about $325 for 3 months.

“Lifelong”, per my doctor.

I need to find better options. This is ridiculous. And every time I see a glitzy Pfizer commercial it really pisses me off. It’s like they’re rubbing my face in it.

I was on blood thinners for a year after a Stent.

I didn’t like the cardiologist I had for other reasons and changed.

In the first office visit with the new doctor I asked him why I was left on thinners for
that long.....he stated there is no good reason for extended use of blood thinners and pulled me off ‘em immediately.

The bruising, and sensitivity to cool weather really sucked....and God forbid you knick yourself or get a proper cut, it’s a real ordeal to get it to clot.

To save money, I've purchased medication (not Eliquis) from the following Indian online pharmacy:

https://www.buy-pharma.md/Apixaban-p-7909.html

The link shows their generic Eliquis.

If interested in this pharmacy, you'll need to check the (US) legality of having your prescription script filled by an Indian pharmacy.
