If that\u2019s the case, then I remind them to resume their Eliquis dosing as scheduled and not to take a double dose,\u201d says <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.memorialcare.org\/providers\/christopher-e-yi\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Christopher Yi<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, MD, board-certified vascular surgeon at MemorialCare Orange Coast Medical Center in Fountain Valley, CA.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are not sure what to do after a missed dose, reach out to your healthcare provider to determine the right course of action.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"consequences-of-an-eliquis-missed-dose\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consequences of an Eliquis missed dose<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cEliquis has a short half-life, so if too much time passes after the last dose, its effect can wear off quickly,\u201d Dr. Yi says. Because of the short half-life,<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stjames.ie\/services\/hope\/nationalcoagulationcentre\/Apixaban.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> it is recommended to take <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eliquis<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> tablets every 12 hours.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThere are no short-term side effects from a missed dose, but it can increase the risk of blood clots if the levels of medication in the blood are lower,\u201d says<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/gail-clifford-lioness-649240b9\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Gail Clifford<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, MD, medical consultant at ARRC LED.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Clifford explains that missing a dose can also impact the treatment plan. \u201cEliquis needs to be taken consistently, with a typical frequency of twice daily to maintain stable anticoagulation. Missing doses or not adhering to the treatment schedule as prescribed can reduce its effectiveness and trigger an increased risk of a clot,\u201d she says. Blood clot formation may increase the risk of a heart attack or stroke.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThis can complicate the treatment plan, since now the healthcare provider may need to adjust the dose or monitor much more closely for symptoms of clotting. Those at high risk, such as patients with atrial fibrillation or prior clotting events, have a significantly increased risk of stroke or recurrent clots,\u201d Dr. Clifford adds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is also important to note that the most common side effect of Eliquis is bleeding. This may include heavy menstrual bleeding, nose bleeds, bruises, and gum bleeds. Serious side effects include heavy bleeding, allergic reactions, and sudden, severe headaches. If you experience any of the side effects, call a healthcare professional or your local emergency number, and visit the emergency room.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"maintaining-a-regular-dosage-schedule\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maintaining a regular dosage schedule<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is possible to forget to take your medication, especially when you\u2019re busy or taking different medicines at various times throughout the day. To help you stay on track and avoid missing your dose of Eliquis, the following are tips to maintain a consistent dosage schedule.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"know-your-medication-schedule\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Know your medication schedule\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s essential to understand your medication schedule, including the specific time to take Eliquis and the appropriate dose for you. Read the prescription label and Patient Medication Information (PMI) for detailed instructions. If you are unsure, reach out to your pharmacist or prescriber for medical advice.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"keep-a-medication-tracker\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep a medication tracker\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/medication-list-template\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">medication tracker<\/span><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">allows you to keep track of the medications you need to take daily, weekly, or monthly, so you can take them at the right time. Check online for printable medication tracker templates. You can customize it to fit your schedule, noting the medication, the time to take it, and a place to check it off after taking it. Keep this chart in a place where you won\u2019t miss it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"download-reminder-apps\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Download reminder apps<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are several<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/best-medication-reminder-apps\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">prescription reminder<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> apps that let you schedule your medication times and receive alerts when it is time to take them.

Apart from serving as a reminder when it\u2019s time to take your medications, these apps may offer additional features, such as information on side effects, drug interactions, and refill reminders.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"use-a-pill-box\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use a pill box\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A pill box helps organize your medications by the exact time you need to take them and prevents double doses. Get a pill organizer that works for you\u2014for example, if you need to take Eliquis twice daily for a week, you may need a 7-day pill box with two compartments for each day.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"follow-a-regular-schedule\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Follow a regular schedule<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Try to take Eliquis at the same time each day, such as 8 am and 8 pm each day. To help, you may need to set an alarm on your phone to remind you when it\u2019s time, or sync your Eliquis medication schedule with your regular habits, such as after breakfast, after dinner, or at bedtime. Eliquis can be taken with or without food.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"use-visual-cues\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use visual cues<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Visual cues may include placing your medication in spots you frequent, such as the kitchen counter, bedside table, or bathroom sink. You can also turn the medication bottle over after taking it, and keep it upright when it\u2019s still due, to help track your doses.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"sign-up-for-automatic-medication-refills\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sign up for automatic medication refills\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ask your pharmacist about how to set up automatic refills. When you sign up for automatic medication refills, you avoid running out of your medication by chance and also reduce the probability of missing a dose because of that reason.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eliquis is a prescription medication used to prevent blood clots in adults with atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat), stroke, deep vein thrombosis (DVT: blood clot in the veins of your legs), or pulmonary embolism (PE: blood clot in the lungs).
