Anticoagulants :: Apixaban And Digoxin Together?
Dec 30, 2015
Has anyone been prescribed at the same time Apixaban and Digoxin? My husband has been prescribed both of those while he was rushed in hospital with irregular heartbeats and kidney impairment ( related to his heart problem) He already takes Furosemide. I was under the impression that he would only have to keep taking one of those 2 anti coagulants.In his case it is 5ml for Apixaban and his GP has given him an Alert Patient Card to carry with him if he goes on holidays.

I spent 4 nights in the hospital with a BPE last month. No clotting problems before nor a history in my family so came as a shock. I'm 39 and never had nany health issues in my life. I was recently diagnosed with Leiden Factor V and told I'll have to take warfarin for the rest of my life. My doctor told me absolutely no binge drinking. (Is there any other kind?) I don't drink every day. But once a month or so I like to buy a case of beer at home or go to Vegas for a few nights and drink while I'm there. On these occasions I will drink 10-16 beers a night. There is no way I will accept not being able to drink beer for the rest of my life. I understand you can't drink on Coumadin (I would never drink one or two beers at a time). What happens if you say you stop taking Coumadin for a few days every month or so and drink? How dangerous? How long does it take for Coumadin to clear your system? The reality is this is what I'm likely to do when I feel like drinking.

Has anyone come across a useful site or poster which lists foods to avoid or limit when taking blood thinners?
I know Vitamin K rich foods are an issue & just want an easy reference guide so I can care for him in the best way I can.
