Extreme Hair Loss

Can you tell me if extreme hair loss occur from Eliquis? I have been on it since last November for an AFib attack. The hair loss is extreme and I already have areas that are bald with other areas thinning quickly. My hair dresser is alarmed at the speed this is happening. I also am having trouble w/my legs, as in weakness and stiffness. I know that that is a symptom.

Hair loss is not a known side effect of Eliquis.

Ref: Hair Loss Monitoring Study

The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, headache, easy bruising, increased risk of bleeding, as well as the weakness, and stiffness that you mentioned.

Were you ever given a different blood thinner, such as Heparin, or Warfarin? They can cause hair loss.

Have you ever had Covid 19? Hair loss is also a symptom of it.
