Stopping Taking Eliquist

I have been taking Eliquist since October 2015. Three weeks ago, I developed a severe rash on my right calf and hive like bumps on both forearms with constant itching and redness. This is the first time that this has happend since I had a stroke, caused by a fall and hitting my head, in April 2015. I have been diagnosed with A-fib for over 10 years and also take digoxin ( 0.125 mg ) and Plavix during that time prior to the stroke. what are my options for getting off of Eliquis? Right after my stroke, I was given warfarin and had no problems, only now after taking Eliquis have I developed this rash and itching. Any sugestions would be appreciated. Thanks. Dave in Mexico

You could speak to your doctor about possibly going back on Warfarin, or trying an alternative medication, there are several others available. Only your doctor can help you decide what's best for you, though.

Those are, however, listed by the U.S. FDA as being allergic side effects. The typical ones usually include nausea, headache, dizziness, increased risk of bleeding and easy bruising.

Does anyone else have any suggestions or ideas that may help?
