New Clot While On Eliquis

History of valvular incompetence and superficial thrombophlebitis of Greater Saphenous Vein (GSV) in the left leg. After being on Eliquis (5mg x2 per day) for a little over 2 1/2 months due to GSV clot propagating into femoral vein (although not that impressive), I developed a case of what appears to be superficial thrombophlebitis in the medial calf of the opposite (right) leg. This seems somewhat odd as if the Eliquis is not working. Will be making an appointment with my vascular doc next week (even though not scheduled to have follow-up ultrasound for initial DVT until 10 more days). Any thoughts?

No medication can be guaranteed to work 100% of the time, or to work for everyone that tries it.

Have you had the exam, yet? If so, did it turn out to be another clot?

Eliquis may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, easy bruising, and increased risk of bleeding events.

Are you on any other medications? Do you eat a lot of dark green leafy vegetables?
