1 Regular eye exams are the only way to catch silent diseases in their early stages, when they're more easily treated. 2  One-size-fits-all reading glasses do not work well for people who have a different prescription in each eye, or whose eyes are not centered in the lens. 3  Headaches are a common problem in those cases.
People who take a blood thinner medicine (anticoagulant) like ELIQUIS, and have medicine injected into their spinal and epidural area, or have a spinal puncture have a risk of forming a blood clot that can cause long-term or permanent loss of the ability to move (paralysis).
How effective is Eliquis? Eliquis 5 mg or 2.5 mg was found to be superior to warfarin in reducing the risk of stroke and embolism or clogging of arteries. The risk of stroke and embolism was 1.27% per year in patients treated with Eliquis and 1.6% per year in patients treated with warfarin. Bleeding was the most common adverse event for discontinuation of Eliquis. This occurred in 1.7% of patients who were on Eliquis and 2.5% in patients on warfarin.
